Ways to work together

Expert Review

Best when: You have a product, plan, technical problem, or R&D operation and want an experienced outside perspective before making a bigger commitment.


What it looks like: You send me the relevant materials, we talk through the situation, and I review the work. If useful, I can include a site visit.


What you get: Clear findings, risks, recommendations, and prioritized next steps, delivered as a written summary or presentation.

A Focused R&D Project

Best when: You have a defined problem that needs to get solved.

Examples:

  • Develop or improve a product
  • Troubleshoot a formulation
  • Prepare for scale-up or a plant trial
  • Find and evaluate a co-manufacturer
  • Design a sensory or consumer study
  • Improve an R&D process or system


What you get: A defined scope, agreed deliverables, and hands-on support through completion.

Fractional or Interim R&D Leadership

Best when: You need experienced R&D leadership, but not necessarily a full-time executive.


What it looks like: I step into the organization for an agreed period and work alongside the team.


What I may take responsibility for: Priorities, people, projects, outside resources, technical decisions, process improvement, and communication with senior leadership.  I may mentor a first-time manager.

R&D Capability Building

Best when: The immediate problem is not one project. The R&D function itself needs to become stronger.


Typical work: Building or rebuilding:

  • Development processes
  • Formula and data systems
  • Sensory capabilities
  • Laboratories
  • Team structure and roles
  • Commercialization processes


What you get: A stronger internal capability your team can continue using after I step away.

Not Sure Which Fits?

You don't need to figure it out before we talk.


Start with a 30-minute conversation. Tell me what you’re working on, where you’re stuck, and what success would look like. I’ll help determine whether there’s a sensible next step.
