How It Works

Every engagement starts with
knowing what's actually broken.

The assessment comes first. It finds what's invisible. What happens next depends on what it finds.

Delivery & geography: Engagements combine on-site and remote sessions. Fully remote option available with 10% discount (no on-site observation sessions). On-site work outside Israel adds travel and per-diem fees quoted per trip.

Fractional Operator

Starting from€6,000/month

Full-time interim from €20,000/mo
Full-time embedded for a defined 3-6 month transition. A premium, time-bound option - immediate productivity, no recruitment, no ramp, no permanent commitment.
International clients (USD, approx): $6,500-$14,600/mo part-time · $21,600/mo full-time interim.
part-time vs. hiring full-time
Recruitment fee €12,000-20,000 saved
Onboarding lag 3-6 months saved
Benefits overhead ~30% salary saved
Long-term commitment None
PM · Project Manager · AI Builder roles
Hourly, part-time, or full-time interim
Owns work end-to-end, not just advisory

Why May

Five specializations.
One operator. One engagement.

Most consultants pick one lane - strategy, tech, or people. May's background spans all of them: developer and AI builder, product manager, organizational consultant, executive coach, and 10+ years operating inside regulated fintech. That combination is rare. It means the diagnostic is sharp from day one, recommendations are actually executable, and there is no translation cost between what's found and what gets built.

Developer & AI Builder

Wrote code professionally. Reads architecture and technical debt directly - not through a middleman. M.Sc in AI. Builds RAG systems, agentic workflows, and AI-powered products. Evaluates your tech stack with production experience, not vendor demos.

Product Manager

Ran products end-to-end inside fintech and digital banking. Understands roadmaps, prioritization tradeoffs, sprint dynamics, and what "technical debt" actually costs a business 18 months later.

Organizational Consultant

Certified (Bar-Ilan University, 2026). Trained in how organizations actually function - culture, power, communication flow, decision patterns. Sees what the org chart hides.

Executive Coach

Certified (Bar-Ilan University, 2026). Works with founders, VPs, and CEOs on decision-making clarity, leadership presence, and performance under pressure. Grounded in real operator experience.

Fintech Operator

10+ years inside regulated tech: digital banking, fintech, adtech. Scaled a team from 30 to 150 developers. Built credit & risk infrastructure processing 500,000+ loan requests. Understands compliance, regulatory risk, and what enterprise scale actually requires.

What this saves you

Cost savings

  • No recruitment fee - typically €15,000-25,000 for a senior hire
  • No benefits overhead (~30% on top of salary)
  • One engagement replaces what would otherwise need 3-4 separate specialists
  • Catch a €7,500 problem at assessment stage before it becomes a €400,000 transformation budget

Time savings

  • No onboarding ramp - typical consultant takes 6-8 weeks to become productive; May operates from week one
  • No learning curve on fintech, regulated industries, or AI implementation
  • No need to brief three different specialists and reconcile three different reports
  • No committee approval loops - one person, one point of accountability

Pricing FAQs

Why does the assessment scale by team size?

Because the work scales with the team. More people means more stakeholder interviews, more process observation sessions, more cross-functional complexity to map, and a more detailed action plan. The price is an honest reflection of the actual work involved - not a tier game. A 20-person company and an 80-person company need fundamentally different scopes of diagnostic work. Above 100 people the engagement model changes - scope is discussed and priced separately.

Do I have to start with the assessment?

For new clients, yes. Recommending workshops, a KPI system, or an embedded operator without first understanding what's actually happening inside your company would be irresponsible. The assessment is the diagnostic that earns the recommendation. Existing clients who have completed an assessment can engage directly for downstream services.

What are the fractional engagement options?

Two, by how much of an operator you actually need. Part-time - an embedded monthly retainer that owns a defined scope: €6,000/month for 1 day a week, €10,000 for 2 days, €13,500 for 3 days. Full-time interim - from €20,000/month, full-time embedded for a defined 3-6 month transition. International clients are quoted in USD (roughly $6,500-$14,600/month part-time, $21,600/month full-time).

How does part-time fractional compare to hiring full-time?

A senior PM or AI Builder in Israel costs €80,000-120,000/year in base salary, plus ~30% benefits overhead, plus €12,000-20,000 in recruitment fees, plus 3-6 months before they are fully productive. Part-time fractional at €10,000/month for 3 months costs €30,000 total - with zero recruitment cost, zero onboarding lag, and no long-term commitment. If the role is still forming, funding is uncertain, or you want to see execution before committing to a permanent hire, part-time fractional is almost always the economically rational choice.

Is full-time interim cheaper than a permanent hire?

Not on an annualized basis - and any honest answer says so. A full-time interim operator is a premium, time-bound option. What you actually buy is speed and optionality: a senior operator productive from week one (no 3-6 month ramp), no recruitment cost or delay, no benefits or severance exposure, and no permanent commitment. It is the right choice for a defined transition, turnaround, or build you need run properly for a few months - not as a permanent seat. If you need someone in the chair every day for the long term, hire permanently; that is the cheaper answer and I will tell you so.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Most engagements can be split into 2-3 payments tied to milestones. Details discussed in the intro call.

Why is the starting price lower than large consulting firms?

No 12-person team overhead. No partner approval cascades. No slideware production budget. AI accelerates research and synthesis significantly, and I pass the savings to clients. What you're paying for is operator expertise and direct access - not the brand name on the door.
