Okay, let’s tackle this. So Brian has 40 years of experience in commercial accounts management, which is a long time. Typically, Product Managers with this level of experience can charge around $50–$100 per hour, depending on the industry and location. However, since Brian's experience is in a more traditional industry (telecommunications), his rate might be on the lower side. Considering his extensive experience, I'll estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is a bit higher than average but still reasonable given his unique blend of skills and experience.
