For over 20 years, I have been putting in place the foundation for startups to become a billion-dollar organizations and others to sell 100Ks of products. I make data-driven decisions to drive growth and ensure product operations are prepared to scale. My unique background in intellectual property, both personally and professionally, creates a rare talent to identify, develop, and monetize intellectual property (“IP”) assets.
My experience includes:
- Developing computer/gaming peripherals.
- Running and selling a midsized business in the garage door and gate industry.
- Launching new products in the consumer medical space.
- Developing a cellular technology to address a $460B social issue.
- Advising small to midsized businesses.
In less than two years, acting in both a leadership role and in an advisory capacity, I doubled EBITDA at several 30+ year-old businesses by identifying and correcting operational inefficiencies. I also led family businesses and closely help corporations through conflicts resulting from poor succession/estate planning.
I earned a B.S. in Business and Administration, concentrating in finance and information systems, from the University of Colorado Boulder’s Leeds School of Business and a J.D. and an LL.M. in Intellectual Property, Commerce and Technology from the UNH School of Law.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, going scuba diving, hiking, skiing, travelling, and taking photos (on land and underwater).
