Hi, I'm Matt
As founder and CEO of Sage, the idea comes from my experience managing teams at a global consulting firm. While leading projects for clients across industries, I had the privilege of working with a group of exceptional technical specialists—retired professionals aged 60 and above—who worked part-time as independent contractors. These individuals brought a level of expertise, professionalism, and efficiency that transformed our work and left a lasting impression on me.
Read on for the rest of our story.
Two team members stand out in my memory. Let’s call them John and Robert. John was a world-class geologist with decades of experience, while Robert was a highly skilled engineer who had spent years leading energy finance initiatives. They were both in their 60s and had retired from full-time roles, but they weren’t ready to stop making an impact. They joined my team as part-time independent contractors and quickly became indispensable.
Value to Businesses
Sage provides businesses with access to an untapped pool of world-class talent—senior professionals who bring decades of specialized experience and leadership to the table. These individuals deliver high-impact results on a flexible, part-time basis, allowing companies to solve their most complex challenges without the overhead of full-time hires.
Our professionals bring gravitas, credibility, and unparalleled expertise to their roles. They know how to build trust with senior executives and influence key decisions, making them particularly effective in high-stakes situations. Additionally, their mentorship and guidance often help internal teams grow and succeed.
For businesses, the Sage model is not only cost-effective but also efficient. By hiring seasoned professionals with proven track records, companies reduce the risk and ramp-up time associated with less experienced hires. Whether it’s filling skill gaps, advising on strategic initiatives, or mentoring a leadership team, Sage helps organizations achieve more, faster.
Value to Senior Talent (Our Sages)
For our Sages, Sage is more than just a platform—it’s an opportunity to continue making an impact. Many retired professionals have a wealth of knowledge and expertise that is underutilized in traditional retirement. We give them a chance to apply their skills to meaningful projects, solving real-world problems while enjoying the flexibility of part-time work.
Our Sages value the ability to choose assignments that align with their interests, schedules, and personal goals. They no longer face the administrative burdens of full-time work and instead focus on what they love—advising, mentoring, and delivering results.
In addition to professional fulfillment, Sage creates opportunities for social connection. Many of our Sages form lasting relationships with colleagues and clients, building a network that keeps them engaged and inspired. By staying active in their fields, they maintain a sense of purpose while balancing work with the personal freedom they’ve earned.
The Sage Solution
At Sage, we’ve taken these experiences and turned them into a business model that connects senior professionals with impactful part-time work.
We know there are millions of talented retirees who are underutilized in today’s job market. These are people like John and Robert—our mentors, our parents, and one day, ourselves. At Sage, we’re on a mission to unlock their potential, giving them opportunities to continue making a difference while enjoying the flexibility and freedom they deserve.
By bridging the gap between experienced professionals and organizations that need their expertise, Sage is building a future where experience isn’t sidelined—it’s celebrated.
