A Brief Description
I am an innovation strategist with over 20 years of experience at the intersection of technology, patents, and business. A USPTO-registered Patent Agent and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, I partner with leaders—from global conglomerates to venture-backed startups—to translate breakthrough research into defensible intellectual property, unlocking new markets and de-risking bold product bets.
My Expertise in Detail
I spend my days translating breakthrough research into defensible intellectual-property positions that unlock new markets and de-risk bold product bets. As a USPTO-registered Patent Agent and Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, I’ve guided technology leaders through the maze of patents, data, and competitive signals that shape growth.
Over the past 20 years I’ve:
- Scaled portfolios from single digits to over 100 assets by building IP-risk-governance frameworks that compress clearance, docketing, and contract-signature cycles by up to 40%.
- Aligned $10 million in R&D and a $500 million roadmap at GE Energy Storage with analytics that flagged infringement risks early and cut search-and-analysis effort by 40%.
- Embedded “IP SAFE” gates across 12 product lines at Tata Consultancy Services, authored enterprise training adopted by 400,000 employees, and automated 70% of patent analytics—returning 10,000 analyst hours to higher-value work.
Today I partner with teams who need clear, data-driven answers on IP strategy, competitive positioning, and technology commercialization—whether they’re refining a business plan, pressure-testing a product concept, or negotiating a critical license. My sweet spot sits where patent law, process excellence, and market insight converge to turn ideas into a durable advantage.
If you’re shaping the next wave of tech innovation and want to make every patent, process, and data point count, let’s connect.
