Digital Nomads

So I'm a professional in data, AI, digital working in a range of industries with 20+ years experience. Now mostly in management level, but good technical knowledge. I'm the guys that sets up high functioning teams fast.

Experienced on projects ranging from millions to billions. I'm looking for tips on finding high paying contracting gigs. Happy to have boots on the ground initially and fly in/out as needed.

I'm assuming this is a who you know game, so I guess the question is who are the best people to know, and what methods work best to build a profile + little black book of contacts?

I'm not really fussed what industry.
