As an experienced general counsel and chief IP counsel, I bring a wide range of subject matter expertise in managing intellectual property portfolios for organizations across IP procurement, prosecution, and litigation involving parents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, technology, and licensing. I also serve as a corporate generalist to organizations where I advise on corporate compliance, risk, M&A due diligence and deal negotiations, ESG, litigation, HR matters, and legal management. My background includes a blend of technical knowledge as an engineer with the combined legal and business acumen to advise businesses through a pragmatic and solutions-focused approach. I can take a complex problem and break it down into simple, understandable decisions points for executive teams as well as product, engineering, and technology teams. This has enabled me to consistently serve as the lead lawyer on complex IP matters for companies, which has included building IP programs from scratch to increase patent filings, running patent licensing programs, developing compliance and privacy programs from scratch, and leading all facets of IP litigation (from inception through trial/settlement and/or appeal).As a result of the breadth of my legal skills, business leadership, and executive guidance, I have earned the trust of senior management in serving as a front-line counsel on company acquisitions and divestitures from the due diligence side, as well as participating in financial discussions, structuring, and agreement drafting. I effectively balance risk with growth and innovation, and I am equally skilled at building teams, managing outside counsel, and interfacing at all levels of the business enterprise.I appreciate the opportunity to connect.
