Tell me what you need.

I came up through the fields, not through marketing. Twenty-five years at Monsanto, Bayer, and Valent moving new agriculture to market. Fifteen-plus launches across eight crops, including one behind a $210M strategic exit.

Send a message about what you're working on. I'll be in touch with next steps, and we can schedule a call from there if it makes sense. No commitment, no pitch. I'm currently taking on new clients.

What happens next

  • A direct reply from me. Not an autoresponder, not a junior associate.
  • We figure out fit, together. If Riley Consulting is a match, I'll propose next steps. If not, I'll point you to someone better.
  • A short call if it makes sense. No slides, no pitch deck.
  • A focused engagement. No long procurement cycles.
  • Confidentiality respected. I decline engagements that conflict with a current client, and I'm glad to work under an NDA.
Who It's For

Good fit. Not a fit. I'll be direct about both.

I take engagements seriously and don't try to be everything. Here's the honest frame.

A Good Fit If You Are...

An ag innovator with a real commercialization challenge.

Early to Series B startups, input companies, or corporations facing real decisions about launch, channel, stewardship, or partnership.

A Good Fit If You Are...

An investor evaluating an agricultural technology.

Diligence work, commercialization viability assessments, market fit and channel readiness, especially in Midwest row-crop and biotech contexts.

A Good Fit If You Are...

A grain company, co-op, ingredient processor, or commodity board.

ESG programs, stewardship design, regulatory strategy, channel entry, or stakeholder engagement. If you're building something real, let's talk.

Probably Not a Fit If...

You need a large consulting firm.

If you need dozens of consultants, a global footprint, or a slide-intensive engagement model, I'm not your person. I can recommend firms that are.
