Hired for what you actually know.
Clients see your real CV — papers, talks, CVEs, shipped models, response work. We open conversations because of your depth, not because we needed to fill a row.
Wenable is a curated consultant network for senior practitioners in AI and cybersecurity. Specialist-grade rates, partner cover on the hard parts, and clients who hire you for what you actually know.
We're a small partner team running a curated network. We don't do bench, we don't do CV-spam, and we don't sell generalists by the day. If you're recognised in your field, this is built for you.
Clients see your real CV — papers, talks, CVEs, shipped models, response work. We open conversations because of your depth, not because we needed to fill a row.
AI and cybersecurity rates anchored to specialist work, not generic consulting bands. You see the client rate, the margin and your take on every assignment. Paid in 14 days.
Two active guilds — AI & ML, and cybersecurity — with monthly deep dives, paper clubs and ops reviews. Quiet most days. Sharp when it matters.
Scope drift, contract grey zones, ramp-down conversations — a partner runs interference. You stay on the work that earned you the seat.
A meaningful share of our assignments are in regulated, sensitive or cleared environments. We do the security paperwork once, properly, so you can take the work.
If we can't place you well, we say so the same week — and tell you which of our peers might be a better fit. We'd rather lose you than waste your quarter.
We open conversations only when there's a genuine match — and we close them honestly when there isn't. Two technical references, one intro call, and we both know within a week.
AI engineers, ML platform leads, red-team operators, cloud security architects — and a few we don't list publicly. Browse what's open or send a note and we'll match.
Field notes from the AI and cybersecurity guilds — written by the people in our network, about the work they're actually doing. No newsletter slop.
A short template for building LLM eval suites that catch regressions in CI rather than the customer's inbox.
Read note →Five anti-patterns we see in detection-as-code rollouts, and the small set of habits that quietly fix most of them.
Read note →The thirty-line summary you can give your client team — and the hard bits that don't compress that well.
Read note →If your situation isn't here, send a note — we'd rather have a 20-minute call than miss someone who'd be a great fit.
A short note works. Two references, an honest conversation, and we'll know within a week whether we have the assignments to match what you're after.
