About

I assist businesses in realizing the full value of their intellectual property (IP). As one of the Co-Founders of Lumenci, I lead a team of world class IP consultants who specialize in IP monetization strategies, litigation support, technology analysis, product testing, patent due diligence, and IP development. I enjoy serving as a testifying expert in software/hardware IP cases. I frequently speak and write about IP at prominent industry platforms. In 2024, and 2025 I was selected as one of the World’s Leading IP Strategists in the IAM Strategy 300. As the Chief Growth Officer, I am broadening Lumenci's reach as a reliable advisor to corporations, legal financing firms, late-stage deep tech startups, law firms, and private equity. I mentor early and growth-stage founders, discussing topics such as sales, scaling, fundraising, work-life synergy, parenting, fitness, and community building. These interactions often result in investments or valuable connections.
