Prices & Locations
Daily & Project rate
Pricing for services of this kind is complex and multi-factor. As a baseline, I work from a daily rate of €700. Project pricing is always negotiable. The initial consultation is free and helps us jointly determine the effort and time required.
There are also no too small or too simple jobs: I appreciate every possibility to be helpful.
Location
My official base of operations is Hamburg, Germany.
I work across the EU and in several non-EU countries and have experience both in remote management and working in different countries and cultures.
