As a critical thinker with a science background, I have keen analytical approach to the problems I face. My decade at Canada's Patent Office has provided me with a strong intellectual property background, as well as knowledge of the jurisprudence in other jurisdictions such as the US and Europe. I have a Ph.D. in Chemistry, and an MBA. This combination has given me the opportunity to tackle a diverse array of projects that include: business plans for business improvement areas, knowledge worker performance management/workload, strategic shifts for companies at the end of their product lifecycle, and quality frameworks in government offices.
