Hire the Best Business Development Analysts

Experienced Business Consultant | Market Research, Market Entry & Growth Strategy Hi, I’m Emilio Rivera, a business consultant with 7+ years of experience helping companies, startups, and investors make better strategic decisions, identify market opportunities, and build growth systems. I specialize in market research, business development, market entry strategy, and investment support, with experience across industries such as startups, fintech, AI, agriculture, B2B services, and international business. I can help you with: - Market Research & Competitive Analysis I conduct detailed research on competitors, market trends, customer behavior, industry dynamics, pricing, positioning, and opportunity mapping. - Market Entry & LATAM Expansion I help companies evaluate and enter Mexico and Latin American markets through research, local insights, go-to-market planning, partner identification, and cultural/business navigation. - Business Development & Lead Generation I can build targeted prospect lists, identify decision-makers, structure outreach strategies, qualify opportunities, and support pipeline development. - Investment & Due Diligence Support I support investors and companies with business research, startup analysis, market validation, competitor mapping, and strategic due diligence. - Strategy & Operations Support I help organize projects, create execution plans, coordinate teams, improve workflows, and turn business ideas into structured action plans. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, with intermediate French, and I’m comfortable working across cultures, industries, and early-stage or fast-moving business environments. My approach is practical, research-driven, and execution-focused. I don’t just deliver information — I help turn insights into clear next steps. Let’s discuss how I can help you move your business forward.

Are you trying to understand a market before entering it, validate a product before investing in it, or figure out what competitors are doing differently? I help businesses research markets, competitors, customers, products, and opportunities so they can make better decisions with less uncertainty. You don't need a spreadsheet full of information that leaves you with more questions. You need reliable research that helps you understand what is happening, why it matters, where the opportunities or risks are, and what you should do next. That's the approach I bring to every research project. What I can help you research Market & Industry Research Market landscape and industry analysis Market size, trends, growth drivers, and dynamics Market opportunities, gaps, and risks Market entry and feasibility research TAM, SAM & SOM analysis Industry and market mapping Competitor Analysis & Competitive Intelligence Competitor identification and profiling Competitive landscape research Competitor benchmarking Product and feature comparison Pricing comparison and analysis Competitor positioning and differentiation Strengths, weaknesses, gaps, and opportunities Customer review and competitor feedback analysis Product & Customer Research Product research and validation Demand and opportunity research Customer pain points and needs Consumer behavior and buying drivers Target audience research Customer segmentation Voice-of-customer research Product-market fit research Pricing and feature research Business & Company Research Company and business research Business model research B2B research and market mapping Business opportunity assessment Feasibility studies Investment and due-diligence research Go-to-market research Company and competitor profiling My approach I don't believe good research is about collecting the most information. It's about finding the right information, verifying it, understanding what it means, and connecting it to the decision you need to make. My process is: Understand the question → Research → Verify → Analyze → Compare → Identify insights → Recommend I use reliable sources and structured research methods to separate useful evidence from noise and turn findings into clear, practical conclusions. What you can expect Thorough and structured research Source-backed findings Verified information Clear competitor comparisons Market and industry analysis Customer and product insights Organized Excel/Google Sheets research Research reports and executive summaries SWOT and strategic analysis Opportunity and risk assessment Clear, actionable recommendations My experience covers market research, competitor analysis, product validation, customer research, pricing analysis, consumer behavior, market opportunity assessment, customer segmentation, industry research, competitive intelligence, market sizing, and strategic recommendations. I have also completed business research and analysis projects where clients specifically valued my ability to understand complex tasks and deliver thorough, professional work. Why work with me? Because I don't want you to finish a research project simply knowing more. I want you to finish knowing what the information means for your business. Whether you already have a specific research question or you're not completely sure what needs to be researched yet, send me the problem you're trying to solve. I'll help turn it into the research, evidence, insights, and recommendations you can actually use. If you need reliable research to understand a market, evaluate an opportunity, understand competitors, validate a product, or make a better business decision, let's talk.
