As a senior manager for a clinical chemistry laboratory, he oversaw regulatory compliance, logistics, safety, facilities, and security functions. He coordinated regulatory inspections, created employee training and safety programs, and reported to general counsel on environmental compliance. This operational background gives him practical insight into the technical, regulatory, and business considerations that may shape a client’s intellectual property strategy.
