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
