Winning the Job Race: Pathways Through Transition

Jack Heyden and Scott Kane are executives with over 60 years of combined experience who, in early 2000, were out of work, did not know each other and who were forced to reinvent themselves to survive in the 21st Century workforce. Scott created Gray Hair Management as a networking tool for his job search, and eventually grew it to a network of over 4,500 senior managers and executives worldwide, all with a common interest and goal…finding a new opportunity in a very difficult job marketplace.

In 2002, Jack joined Scott as a partner in Gray Hair Management and expanded GHM to include coaching, mentoring and networking services to business professionals to help them understand and capitalize upon the job race game in the new Millennium.
