Okay, let’s tackle this. So David Blasini has skills in commercial banking, financial analysis, and portfolio management. He’s based in New Orleans, which is a hub for financial services. Commercial banking professionals with his level of experience typically charge around $100–$200 per hour. However, considering his expertise in lending and risk management, maybe slightly higher. Some commercial bankers in the US average $120–$180 per hour. Let’s check industry benchmarks. Finance professionals with similar skills and experience might average $150–$250 per hour. So I’ll estimate around $125, taking into account his location and role.
