Background

About Eric Podlogar

A seasoned Professional with extensive understanding of Intellectual property, business intelligence, and product cycles. My background in Manufacturing, Business Development, and Strategy Analytics provide a diversified experience suited for dynamic environments. PMC was a playground for an engineer, where I learned to manage complex projects against tight timelines in challenging manufacturing environments. At Nabisco, I was exposed to the entire process from "ingredients-in" to "packaged products-out". My expertise expanded to include process optimization and quality control. At Motorola, I managed and mentored others while developing an interest in strategy and business development. As a Competitive Intelligence practitioner, I learned market analysis and technology tracking, which led to portfolio development. This culminated in an IP Licensing position where I assessed patent acquisition opportunities. At Google, I was exposed to search, cloud computing, and online advertising technologies. My role expanded to include licensing, strategy development and negotiation activities. I continued to share my successes and mentor others. At Stoax, I put my experiences to practical effect by providing market, technical and IP analysis services that maximize freedom of action in areas including wireless and internet technologies. At ktMINE, I led the IP Strategy & Valuation Market providing thought leadership with a team dedicated to distilling complicated data into actionable intelligence and business insights. At Aon, I am a part of a team that analyzes IP portfolios and provides inputs related to valuation by using a variety of tools to explore a wide spectrum of technologies. I am lucky to be able to work with this talented and dynamic team in this exciting space. I have a positive and natural curiosity that promotes a creative environment ideal for generating and implementing solutions. I deliver results with disciplined fiscal management and I foster effective relationships while achieving business goals.
