This week in Solvate500, Solvate has set its focus on established independent consultants with business development backgrounds in fields as varied as real estate to health care, from high tech to consumer goods, from alternative energy to all things small business. We’re also opening our doors to recent and current MBAs with start-up experience who are looking for some hands on experience with some of America’s most exciting emerging businesses.
When matching projects, we find that domain expertise is often the tie breaker when our staffing engine compares two consultants with similar backgrounds. Clients also prefer to connect with Talent who know as much, if not more, about their industry as they do. This way, the learning curve is reduced and Talent can jump into a project head first and get to work.
Think you’re a true specialists? Meet some of our current talent who fit the bill:
