$70M in Patent Renewal Income
Closed seven high-value patent renewals in less than one year during a major IBM divestiture. These negotiations generated $70 million in incremental income, far exceeding projections. The work preserved ongoing licensing cashflow and demonstrated the ability to capture value during corporate restructuring.

Cross-License Extension Preserving Income Streams
Restructured an expiring cross-license with a global storage company that faced overpayment disputes. By applying those overpayments as credit toward a new arrangement, I secured a five-year extension. This approach protected multimillion-dollar licensing income streams and reinforced a key commercial relationship.
Contract Operations at Scale
Directed contracting for IBM Research, managing more than 1,000 agreements annually, including 650 NDAs. Implemented contract management software that improved visibility and reduced average cycle time by 25 percent. The program delivered legal compliance while supporting faster business operations.
$5M Settlement Through License Gap Analysis
Identified a structural flaw in a patent cross-license after a leveraged buyout. By recognizing the gap, I positioned IBM to negotiate a $5 million one-time income settlement. The resolution safeguarded the broader IP program while clarifying rights and reducing litigation risk.
