Okay, let’s calculate this. David has a mix of general management skills, technical expertise in software and CRM, and customer-facing skills. His MBA suggests he has strong business acumen. Considering his skills and education, he might be a mid-level executive. Location in Chula Vista, California, also impacts the rate. For similar roles in the US, mid-level executives with these skills can charge $100-$200 per hour. Given his MBA and the fact that he’s not in a C-level position, I’ll estimate around $125 per hour.
