BAATPE offers the business-consultancy services of Mr. Paris Childress

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am a member of the MBA Enterprise Corps, a USAID-funded program that sends MBA graduates from the U.S. into emerging and transitioning markets to work on a volunteer consulting basis with local businesses and business support organizations (BSO). For the next twelve months, I will be working with BAATPE as a Business Consultant.

I recently received a Master's degree in Business Administration from Vanderbilt University, where I concentrated in Marketing and Finance and also founded an Internet-based technology company. Prior to business school, I worked as a real estate developer for an education company called Edison Schools in New York. I have attached my CV for your reference.

In my role with BAATPE, I will strive to achieve two main goals:

1. To assist BAATPE in better serving its members and improving its prospects for long-term sustainability.
2. To provide direct business consulting services to companies in the BAATPE network. This consultation may range from general strategic planning to more specific business needs in areas such as marketing, finance, operations or human resources. The fees for my services are outlined below:

Members Non-members
Initial company visit reimbursement of travel and hotel expenses
Follow-up on-site visits 48 Euros per day + 80 Euros per day +
+ travel and hotel expenses
Off-site hourly rate 7,2 Euros per hour 12 Euros per hour

After my initial visit and a mutual determination of need, I will create a proposal for your approval that will outline a specific project and estimate the time required on my part.

I am available and interested in meeting each of you and helping your company achieve its goals! Please do not hesitate to call or email me at p.childress@bgtextiles.org to discuss your needs.

Best Regards,

Paris Childress
