About
Technology has the power to transform lives—but only when it can be successfully developed, protected, and brought to market.For more than 30 years, I have helped organizations evaluate, develop, and commercialize emerging technologies across healthcare, medical devices, AI, wearables, intelligent sensing systems, and connected technologies.My experience spans the entire innovation lifecycle—from technology strategy and product development to intellectual property, regulatory planning, and commercialization. I have worked with startups, growth companies, and established organizations to transform innovative ideas into successful products.A consistent theme throughout my career has been human-centric measurement and analytics—developing technologies that measure, interpret, and generate actionable insights from human behavior, physiology, and real-world interactions. This includes work in audience measurement, wearable technologies, medical imaging, computer vision, digital health, and AI-enabled healthcare.Whether evaluating an acquisition, assessing an emerging technology, shaping a product roadmap, or building a defensible IP portfolio, my goal is to help organizations make better technology decisions.innovators, and business leaders on:Technology Strategy
