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
For 20 years as an executive search consultant, adviser, 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
​​
That’s why I created Grey Haired Recruiter; a trusted, discreet partner for executives like yourself navigating high-stakes transitions.
