Specifically, she helps companies organize and manage their patent portfolios to most effectively gain market advantage over their competitors by defining the link between patent activity and commercial products or goals. She guides companies on how to ensure that key processes and personnel are in place so that employees ultimately responsible for linking patent expenditures with commercial successes can do so without undue investigation. She interacts with many business units within the company including sales and marketing, finance, legal, and research and development, so that each appreciates the needs and demands of the others from a patent perspective.
