Experience
Vice President, Business Development & Licensing
Sep 2019 — Present · Philadelphia, PA, US
Managed a P&L business focused on licensing and monetization of wholly owned patent portfolios. Curated and executed on a nine figure total signings opportunity value deal pipeline. Leveraged C-Suite relationships to develop and land licensing deals in a wide range of industry spaces including networking (5G, Wifi, Bluetooth), Industrial sensors, IoT platforms, digital twins, and financial transactions (dynamic lending). Strong Force delivers strategic advantage by systematically innovating across technologies, use cases, and ecosystems and by combining innovative material from a wide range of perspectives to create large, comprehensive, category-influencing patent portfolios. This approach enables it to capture broad market opportunity well before use-case adoptions emerge to drive more typical patenting activity. To benefit innovators and other stakeholders, Strong Force Catalyst delivers thought leadership, dissolves market boundaries, contributes disruptive innovation, and drives ecosystem participation to catalyze categories. We have created billions of dollars in value across a wide array of sectors and helped hundreds of visionary inventors, market leaders, and capital allocators succeed.
