Jared W.
Business Consultant | Market Research, Strategy & Planning (MBA)
I am an MBA-trained (Kelley School of Business, Indiana University) strategist with 10+ years of experience, offering premium consulting services at an introductory rate to build my Upwork profile. While I typically consult for large enterprises and pharmaceutical firms, I am opening my schedule to help startups, small businesses, and solopreneurs get organized and execute their plans. You get the same level of rigor I provide to Fortune 500 clients, but for a fraction of the cost as I establish my reputation here. How I can help you: - Business Planning: Drafting solid business plans, pitch decks, and roadmaps. - Market Research: Competitor analysis, SWOT analysis, and industry trends (recent work: SWOT for a local food truck launch). - Financial Strategy: Modeling, pricing strategy, and budget forecasting. - Ad-Hoc Strategy: Acting as a sounding board or "Chief of Staff" to help you solve operational bottlenecks. I am US-based (Eastern Time), responsive, and ready to hit the ground running.
