Strategic Advisory & Industry Leadership
Executive guidance and program architecture for the evolving meat industry.
Range® Inc., founded in Chicago’s historic Fulton Market, has advised meat retailers, brands, and training institutions for over two decades. Today, our work focuses on strategic advisory partnerships and large-scale program architecture — helping organizations build stronger operations, smarter training systems, and long-term profitability.
Led by Kari Underly — nationally recognized meat expert, author, and industry educator — our engagements are selective, strategic, and built for measurable impact.
Strategic Advisory & Industry Leadership
Executive-level guidance for organizations shaping the future of meat.
Strategic Advisory Partnership
For leaders who want an experienced strategic partner — not a transactional consultant.
Kari Underly provides executive-level guidance to retailers, protein brands, and workforce institutions focused on long-term growth, operational strength, and sustainable training systems.
Advisory engagements may address growth strategy, retail performance structure, merchandising direction, workforce development planning, and international market positioning.
Partnerships are limited annually to ensure depth, discretion, and measurable impact.
Curriculum & Program Architecture
Design and development of scalable meat education systems and workforce frameworks.
We partner with institutions, brands, and retail organizations to build structured training programs that are implementable, measurable, and sustainable. Our work focuses on long-term program architecture — not one-time training installs.
Engagements may include certificate program development, apprenticeship framework design, bilingual system integration, retail ID curriculum architecture, and train-the-trainer development.
Each program is built for clarity, compliance, and independent execution.
Speaking & Executive Workshops
Selective keynote and executive-level sessions focused on profitability, workforce strategy, retail performance, and the evolving craft of meat.
Kari Underly blends technical depth with real-world operational insight — delivering sessions that resonate with industry leaders, educators, and operators alike.
Speaking engagements are limited annually and scheduled in alignment with advisory commitments.
Strategic Advisory Intensives
For organizations seeking structured, high-level guidance prior to a long-term partnership, we offer focused advisory engagements designed to clarify direction and define implementation priorities.
These executive sessions provide a disciplined, agenda-driven format for working through complex operational, training, or growth initiatives.
