Consulting as an independent operator is hard in a specific way. The work itself is fine. The positioning is not.
"Independent consultant" on a profile reads as between things. "Principal at [your own LLC]" reads as a solo act. Neither conveys what you actually are: a senior person doing senior work, with taste and judgment accumulated over decades, who happens to prefer running their own practice.
Rexicon exists to give that work a better home.
What membership looks like
Members run their own practice under the Rexicon umbrella. You keep your clients. You keep your engagements. You keep your revenue. Rexicon doesn't take a cut of work you source solo.
What the collective gives you is a shared brand, a page to point people to, a small community of senior peers to pressure-test your thinking with, and a place to say "we" when saying "I" feels limiting.
When the work calls for it, members collaborate on engagements, staff each other's projects, and share leads. When it doesn't, you run your practice the way you always have.
The collective is a commitment to staying in relationship with peers over time. That's it. That's the whole idea.
Who we're looking for
- 15+ years operating inside real companies, not observing them from outside
- A domain you know cold: AI, product, engineering leadership, organizational design, go-to-market, executive coaching, or adjacent
- Already doing the work. Solo practitioners, fractional executives, advisors, or people in transition who are actively engaged on something
- Taste for hard problems and honest conversations
- Willing to represent the brand with the seriousness it deserves
Who we're not
Rexicon is not a resume shelter. It's not a holding pattern. It's not a way to look employed while not being employed. If what you need is a logo to put on LinkedIn while you look for a full-time role, we understand the impulse, but we're not that. The collective only works if the people in it are doing the work.
We're also not a staffing firm. We don't place you on other people's projects. We don't have a pipeline to hand you. What you get is a shared brand and a community of peers, and the work is still yours to find and do.
How it actually works
If we think there's a fit, here's the shape of it:
- A 30-minute call to understand your practice, your domain, and what you're looking for
- If both sides want to proceed, we add you to the Rexicon LinkedIn page with a title that fits your involvement (Principal, Associate, or Advisor)
- You update your LinkedIn to list Rexicon as your current role
- You get access to the collective's peer channels, monthly calls, and the shared brand assets
- We check in quarterly to make sure the arrangement is still working for everyone
There's no membership fee. There's no equity. There's no non-compete. There's no obligation to route your work through the collective. The only commitment is to represent Rexicon well and to show up for the peer community when you can.
If it ever stops being useful for you, you leave cleanly. If it stops being a good fit for the collective, we'll tell you directly.
How to reach out
If this sounds like something you want to explore, the best thing is a short note about what you do, who you work with, and what you're looking for. We'll reply within a few days with either a time to talk or an honest answer about fit.
