General Counsel
MEAN
USA
With over 15 years of legal experience, including 6.5+ years as General Counsel at MEAN, I specialise in intellectual property strategy, regulatory compliance, and contract management. I collaborate with C-suite executives to navigate global trade risks, governance, and international expansion while managing a robust IP portfolio of 55+ patents and numerous trademarks. My expertise includes FAR/DFARS contracts and implementing HR compliance frameworks to support cross-functional teams in the defense sector.
At MEAN, I play a critical role in advising on strategic partnerships, vendor agreements exceeding $10M, and licensing strategies to enhance market value. My background in aerospace and mechanical engineering complements my legal acumen, enabling me to deliver innovative solutions in regulated industries. Licensed with the USPTO, Georgia, and North Carolina Bars, I focus on empowering organisations to excel through effective legal counsel and risk management strategies.
