HOW TO WORK TOGETHER

Starting an Engagement

Three ways to add senior industrial-biotech experience to your program, from sustained R&D leadership to a single focused conversation.  Each draws on the same core capability: 25 years of strain development, fermentation, and R&D management across early-stage and large-company environments.

SINGLE SESSION

One-Hour Advisory Session

Best for: a defined question you want an experienced read on, now.

 

A focused hour over Google Meet on a specific technical or strategic problem: strain direction, scale-up risk, CDMO selection, a technology assessment, or a strategy review.

One hour · Paid · Booked and paid online

PROJECT WORK

Custom Reports & Strategic Consulting

Best for: a specific decision with a defined deliverable and timeline.

 

Competitive landscape analysis, technology and readiness assessments, fermentation economics, white-space and patent landscapes, CDMO evaluation, go/no-go due diligence.

$200/hour · Typical engagement 15–50 hours · Fixed-price available for defined scope

ONGOING ADVISORY

Fractional CSO & Senior R&D Advisory

Best for: companies needing sustained R&D leadership without a full-time hire.

 

Program direction, team building, and investor communication on a continuing basis: fractional CSO-level involvement structured as a monthly retainer with a defined scope.

Retainer-based · Scope and pricing discussed directly
