About Me

I am an executive-level project controls and program management professional with 12+ years of experience delivering complex, high-value capital programs across some of the most demanding industries in the world — nuclear, data centers, utilities, defense, aerospace, renewables, and large-scale EPC construction.

My career has taken me from the shipyards of Austal USA and the mission-critical environment of NASA, to earned value management at General Dynamics, utility infrastructure at Entergy and Tennessee Valley Authority, renewable energy at Silicon Ranch, and global data center product scheduling at Google.

I hold a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) in Organizational Leadership — a credential that sets me apart in a field where execution matters as much as strategy. I bring both the academic foundation and the field-hardened discipline to lead controls on programs where getting it wrong is not an option.

Through Capital Controls Group, I am available for remote and on-site engagements nationwide, bringing senior-level P6 scheduling, EVM, cost controls, risk management, and executive reporting to your program from day one.

Academic & Professional Credentials
"The rarest combination in project controls — doctoral-level organizational leadership applied to real-world, high-stakes program delivery."

Dr. Hurd brings both the academic rigor of a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership and the field-hardened instincts of a controls professional who has managed billion-dollar capital programs across six industries. This is not theory — it is disciplined execution at executive scale.
