Okay, let’s tackle this. So Joe Abla has 42 years of experience in various roles, including owner operator of a business. His skills in operations management, strategic planning, and negotiation are valuable. However, his experience is mostly in a single company, Abla Import Autos, rather than a large corporation. Location is Deerfield Beach, Florida, which is not a major hub for his skills. Considering his experience and skills, I estimate his hourly rate to be around $125, which is slightly lower than average for operations managers and business developers in the US.
