How I Work
Discovery, planning, execution, delivery. No surprises. No junior staff. Direct access.
We talk through your programme, constraints, and where it's at risk. I ask hard questions. You get clarity on whether this is a fit.
I send a scoped proposal with timeline, deliverables, and rate. No long contracts. You can pause or adjust scope anytime.
I take ownership of the work. Weekly check-ins, slack/email access, visible progress. You're never waiting for status.
Clear deliverables: report, system, strategy, or resolved issue. Not a deck—real outcomes you can act on.
Engagement Models
16–40 hours/month. Ongoing support, strategic advice, continuous improvement.
$8k–$15k/month
Defined scope, fixed timeline. Manufacturing audit, fleet analysis, programme reset.
$30k–$150k
Hourly or sprint-based. Specific problem, fast decision, expert input.
$200–$500/hour
Why Choose Independent
You get me—not a junior consultant, not a bench fill-rate, not a firm chasing utilization targets.
You work with me. Not an associate, not a "case leader" who touches your work for 10%. When you call, I answer. Slack. Email. Phone. Real-time.
You don't pay for office space, bench staff, or firm profit margins. My rate is clean—just expertise and delivery. No hidden costs.
My success is your success. You shipped the product. You reduced scrap. You have happier customers. That's how I measure myself—not by billable hours.
I move fast. No approval chains, no steering committees, no "I'll sync with the partner track." Issues get flagged, decisions happen, momentum stays.
I tell you what I think. If your plan won't work, I say so. If a decision is wrong, you hear it early—not after we're locked in. That's what you're paying for.
Your work doesn't change hands between engagements. I know your context, your team, your constraints. That context is worth a lot.
