Work With Us
Every engagement is structured around the situation at hand — not a standard consulting template. The right format depends on the nature of the challenge, the timeline, and how the organisation prefers to work.
Engagement Models
01
An ongoing strategic partner, not a one-off report.
A structured monthly engagement where Patrick works alongside your leadership team as a fractional advisor — available for strategy sessions, critical decisions, and the in-between moments when a question needs a considered answer rather than a guessed one. Best suited to organisations navigating ongoing transformation, where the work evolves month to month.
Best suited for: Retailers, digital leaders, and operators who need a consistent senior resource without a full-time hire.
02
A defined scope. A clear deliverable. A fixed timeline.
Structured around a specific commercial challenge or strategic question — AI readiness assessment, e-commerce growth strategy, technology platform evaluation, market entry planning. The engagement has a beginning, a middle, and a concrete output. Timelines typically run four to twelve weeks depending on scope.
Best suited for: Organisations with a specific problem to solve and a preference for project-based accountability.
03
Targeted expertise for a specific piece of work.
A tightly scoped engagement built around one deliverable — a strategic roadmap, a go-to-market plan, a capability assessment, a board presentation. Fixed scope, fixed fee, clear timeline. Designed for situations where the question is already well-defined and what is needed is the expertise to answer it well.
Best suited for: Leadership teams, investors, or boards needing a high-quality output on a defined topic.
04
Build the internal capability to navigate AI confidently.
Custom education programs designed to close the AI knowledge gap at leadership level and throughout the organisation. Formats range from executive briefings and board sessions through to structured multi-session programs for broader teams. Content is built around your industry, your business model, and the AI questions that actually matter to you.
Best suited for: Leadership teams, boards, and organisations preparing their people for an AI-enabled operating environment.
Who This Is For
rechsteiner.io works with a small number of clients at any one time. The work is most effective when there is genuine alignment between the challenge, the organisation's readiness to act, and the advisory format.
Established businesses navigating digital transformation, AI adoption, or a step-change in e-commerce performance. The common thread: a commercial mandate and the expectation that advice will be executable.
Early and growth-stage SaaS and AI ventures that need senior strategic input on product direction, go-to-market motion, or market entry — without the overhead of a full-time executive hire.
Portfolio companies, boards preparing for AI governance questions, and investors evaluating digital capability in potential or existing holdings.
The Process

03
Work starts. Direct access to Patrick Rechsteiner throughout. No handoffs, no account management layer, no dilution.
Start the Conversation
A 30-minute call is the right starting point. No commitment — just a direct conversation about the challenge, what good looks like, and whether there is a fit worth exploring.
