Jonathan Beard Email & Phone Number

I have a passion for leading sustainable personal and professional transformations for industrial organizations. Early in my career, I learned it is not the organization that will change, but rather the people, at all levels of the organization, that drive impact as they grow, learn, and develop. It is this people first approach that I bring to every engagement that I believe makes the difference between achieving short term, temporary impact vs lasting transformations.I began my professional journey as a submarine officer in the US Navy where I learned the importance of building and leading a professional team with both the technical abilities to operate safely and an enduring bond to help each other grow and learn. I then took this outlook to McKinsey and Company where I had the opportunity to develop technical, management, and cultural improvement tools that I could deploy in a business setting to drive lasting change. Following McKinsey, I served as the Vice-President of Operations for Oldcastle Enclosures, a $200M division within Oldcastle focused on manufacturing underground utility enclosures and trench for multiple markets including water, electric utilities, and telecommunications. I hold a Bachelor’s of Science in Systems Engineering from the United States Naval Academy and an MBA from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. I currently live in Atlanta, GA with my wife and 3 children where I spend most of my free time as a chauffeur to and from various children’s activities. When not attending these activities, I am an avid college football fan and recreational hiker.If you would learn more about my approach or discuss opportunities to partner to drive change, please do not hesitate to reach out!
