IP Strategy
& Innovation Management

I work at the intersection of business, tech & law helping companies maximize the value of their intellectual assets.

Services

  • Understand what’s yours (even if you can’t touch it) and how to use IP to maximize value and minimize risk.

  • Devise and document an actionable IP strategy aligned with your immediate business objectives and long-term ambitions.

  • Build awareness and knowledge of intellectual asset management and IP among your management team, engineers, investors, and board members.

  • Get continuity and improved decision-making without the overhead of a full-time IP headcount.

About Me

Not your typical lawyer. Not your typical engineer.

I have over ten years of international experience in strategic IP management, prosecution, and enforcement.

Most recently I worked with Spotify's business and technology teams to secure strategically aligned IP-based control positions around inventions and other key intellectual assets.

I hold a Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering (specializing in Intellectual Capital Management) and am a qualified solicitor (admitted in NSW, Australia).
