I am a technology and innovation consultant with 7+ years of experience supporting companies across food & beverage, life sciences, chemicals, materials, packaging, and industrial sectors. At Hourglass Research, I work with R&D, innovation, strategy, and business teams to address questions around emerging technologies, competitive activity, intellectual property, partners, applications, and market opportunities. My work spans technology scouting, competitive intelligence, patent and IP analytics, partner scouting, market assessment, innovation benchmarking, and opportunity identification. I like working on complex questions where companies need to understand what technologies are emerging, who is developing them, how competitors are responding and which opportunities are worth pursuing.
