Summary
Hardworking professional, passionate about building companies through innovations inspired from within and by input at all levels of the corporate team.
This skill is based on my wide experience that ranges from product development in food, to finding patented products for acquisition, advertising, software development, IP development and its legal protection.
My current interest is developing a new intercommunication strategy and delivery system – far improved over podcasts – aimed at creating a 'belongingness' between employer and employees/contractors both facing the challenges of today's hybrid work environment far beyond podcasts.
