Innovation, IP and Product Execution

Keith specialises in identifying, designing, and accelerating intellectual property. He works with founders and technical teams to define and architect defensible IP, rapidly progress patents, and translate IP into real products through hands-on CTO and Technical Project Management leadership.

Beyond invention, Keith focuses on commercialisation by helping companies expand into adjacent markets, unlock new use-cases, and execute growth strategies that materially increase valuation.

Keith typically operates at the VC and early-scale stage, where clarity of execution is the difference between potential and progress.
