Coaching Is In Our DNA

Why Gas Turbine Coach?

Tom Freeman grew up watching his father coach football, helping every player achieve their potential. After 40 years leading complex gas turbine programs across the energy and aerospace industries, Tom realized he wanted to do the same thing for power plant owners, operators, and investors. In 2025, he launched Gas Turbine Coach to deliver hands-on, OEM-level expertise directly to clients. The firm has since grown into a team of industry veterans who share a straightforward philosophy: give clients honest answers and practical solutions that actually move the needle.
