Okay, let’s tackle this. So Linda Boardman has a broad skill set that includes product development, strategic planning, and leadership. These are all valuable skills in the retail and consumer products industries. Her experience in these areas, combined with her location in Boston, MA, which is a hub for these industries, suggests she could command a competitive hourly rate. Based on national averages for executives with similar skills and experience, I estimate her rate to be around $125 per hour, which is slightly below the average for this role and location.
