About TNM International
Leadership shaped by service,
acquisition, quality, and execution.
TNM International LLC was founded by Tommy Beals, a retired U.S. Navy Limited Duty Officer and senior defense acquisition professional.
Across 24 years of Naval service and subsequent government and industry leadership, he has worked from the deckplate to the Program Executive Office—leading maintenance and quality organizations, managing complex acquisition portfolios, and helping teams satisfy demanding operational, safety, quality, and certification requirements.
“We help clients build programs that are credible in the briefing room, controlled in the quality system, and executable on the deckplate.”
