“Having known Jaimes for many years and worked with him closely for several of these, what Jaimes brings in value transcends well beyond IP. First, Jaimes is a strategic thinker and will help transform ideas into a strategy to extend (and protect!) the value of the original innovation further down the value chain and help ensure differentiation and competitive positioning. In addition, Jaimes has huge experience to draw upon and will often find ways to expand a product-specific innovation to a platform solution that can solve a number of different market problems, expanding the value along the way. Finally, Jaimes is a delight to work with; he is also a critical thinker, has a direct and open approach and challenges orthodoxy in a pleasant and constructive way.”
