Hi - I’m Justin, the Embedded Leader. I help Founders and Program Managers recover and stabilize failing $10M - $500M programs.

Most failing programs don't fail because of one catastrophic event.

They fail because execution slowly fractures between leadership, engineering, and operations and no one catches it until the schedule is already bleeding.

If you're a founder, executive, or program manager responsible for delivery, you've probably already tried:

→ Shifting internal resources to cover the gaps

→ Reorganizing teams hoping alignment would follow

→ Hiring consultants who handed you slides instead of solutions

→ Adopting new tools that didn't fix the real problem

The schedule is still slipping. Your program is still reactive. And you're firefighting instead of leading.

Here's what most people miss: failing programs are alignment and execution problems disguised as schedule issues.

That's the work I do.

I coach founders, executives, and program managers to diagnose what's actually breaking, stabilize the execution environment, and recover programs that others have written off.

My coaching isn't theory, it's built from 25 years of doing this work directly:

→ President & former COO, AeroTEC

→ VP of Operations, Safran

→ Senior Program Manager, Boeing

The leaders I work with are typically:

→ Running programs between $10M–$500M that are slipping

→ Capable, but stuck in reactive mode they can't escape

→ Ready to address the real issues: alignment, ownership, and execution clarity

→ Looking to build internal recovery capability that lasts

We work together to:

→ Rapidly diagnose where execution is actually fracturing

→ Reset leadership alignment and clarify ownership

→ Establish an execution framework that creates predictability

→ Build the internal capability to sustain recovery, without me

Most leaders move from reactive to controlled execution within 60–90 days.

I work primarily in aerospace, but these frameworks translate directly to defense contracting and advanced manufacturing. Anywhere program complexity and execution pressure collide.

If you're ready to lead your program instead of chase it, send me a DM with the word PROGRAM. I'll show you exactly how we'd work together.
