Technology leader in a group that guided the company from a venture backed startup to acquisition by Nippon Shokubai on a path towards scaled commercializationLed diverse teams of scientists to create proof of concept applications for a breakthrough monomer/polymer platform that enables rapid, room temperature polymerizationDeveloped value propositions by applying first principles approaches, for example: Monomers were formulated into 2 component reactive coatings that cured at lower temperatures (reducing energy costs) and lowered solvent usage (lower VOC). Proof of concept work was completed in 4-6 months, presented in an industry symposium to generate market interest for samples.Executed strategic learning plans that delivered vital milestones in a demanding and dynamic innovation environment. I was instrumental in the development of an evaluation criteria for Sirrus monomers based on a combination of analytical measurements and performance testing that was adopted into a specification for product quality.Played a vital role in establishing intellectual property portfolio to generate competitive moat for Sirrus technology. Portfolio of Sirrus patents grew from 1 issued patent to over 70 in 6 years which was key to company subsequent valuation and acquisitionEnabled new business development opportunities by supporting strategic external partnerships with industrial and academic development partners while protecting IP through effective JDA/NDA approaches
