About Me

I help companies and patent litigators investigate their market for possible infringers.

My educational background includes an M.S. in Industrial Administration (Carnegie Mellon University’s equivalent of an MBA), an M.S. in Pharmacotherapeutics, and a B.S. in Biology. I have over twenty years of experience providing litigation-related and environmental management consulting services. In addition, on several occasions, I have served in corporate management roles on an interim basis (e.g., as CEO, COO, or CFO of start-up companies and entities undergoing financial crises).

Before becoming an independent consultant, I was a principal of Putnam, Hayes & Bartlett, Inc., where I was employed for eight years, primarily in that firm’s environmental and litigation consulting practices. I later served as a director of KPMG Peat Marwick, LLP’s regional litigation practice in Pittsburgh, PA, and held similar positions with Arthur Andersen & Co. LLP and Coopers & Lybrand LLP. Additionally, while employed by Purdue Frederick Research Center and Revlon Health Care Group, I worked for four years as an analytical chemist to the pharmaceutical industry.

I have worked on a wide variety of patent infringement matters in which I brought to bear significant quantitative and analytic skills: including the application of decision analysis techniques to settlement negotiations; damages estimation; patent infringement searches; industry and damage expert witness searches; and assisting counsel manage complex multi-billion dollar damage cases. I have drafted and provided testimony.
