You’ve sailed into fomented waters and you want to keep your ship out of the rocks. We’ve all been there. You are not alone. When projects go off-track and teams need structure, leaders need clarity. For years, I was the one answering that call. After conducting a Core Flaw Analysis on my own career, I realized that turnaround leadership and systems repair were not just tasks I completed, but the work I was built for. Graybeard Consulting is the result of that diagnostic. It is a firm dedicated to elevating the craft of project and program management. Founding this company was not a leap. It was the logical conclusion of experience.

Who I Serve

• Leaders of stalled initiatives: Senior stakeholders with high-stakes projects that have drifted off course and require immediate turnaround momentum.

• Technical organizations in chaos: Companies needing to bridge the gap between complex engineering realities and clear strategic execution.

• Teams lacking navigational rules: Groups operating without a clear North Star, resulting in reactive loops rather than proactive progress.

• Project professionals seeking mastery: Practitioners looking to elevate their craft beyond standard certifications and apply rigorous diagnostic tools.

Why It Works

• Diagnostic rigor: I identify upstream root causes before attempting to solve downstream symptoms.

• Experience over theory: Solutions are derived from decades of operational friction, not textbook idealism.

• True alignment: I use tools like the Alignment Audit to ensure individuals are optimized for their specific path.

• Systems repair: I focus on helping you fix the underlying mechanism of the organization rather than just managing the day-to-day noise.
