It’s Lonely at the Top...
And even lonelier when it’s time to make your next critical career move. No real sounding board! No one you can talk to!
You can fix a P&L, restructure a team, and calm a board. But packaging yourself for the next role drags. It’s not ability. It’s bandwidth. Zero appetite for CV polishing, personal branding, or self-promotion. So opportunities sit longer than they should.
Here’s where we step in as coach, strategist, editor, and deal maker for your next role—shaping your story and getting it in front of the right people.
Meet the Man behind the Vision
with a Rare Vantage Point
Imran Yousuf
CEO & Founder - Grey Haired Recruiter
For 20 years as an executive search consultant, adviser to chairmen, and board member, I’ve witnessed firsthand how hiring decisions are made behind closed doors, where boardroom debates turn heated, offers get pulled at the last minute, and politics overrule performance.
I’ve watched top talent get passed over for a single misstep — and others land defining roles because they knew how to walk the fine line between caring and not caring.
That’s why I created Grey Haired Recruiter — a trusted, discreet partner for executives like yourself navigating high-stakes transitions. Grey Haired Recruiter brings a rare vantage point to every search so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and control.

A Tailor-Made Approach
Because Your Position Matters
No Two Leadership Moves Are the Same.
That’s why nothing we do is off the shelf. Every engagement is built around your current reality, your long game, and the stakes involved. Here’s how we guide senior executives through critical NEXT move with strategy, precision, and total alignment.
-
Every executive transition is shaped by timing, ambition, leverage, and risk.
-
Some leaders are positioning for growth. Others are navigating uncertainty.
-
What they have in common is this: they can’t afford to get it wrong.
