Westlaw Round Table Group
Westlaw Round Table Group Expert Witness since 2007

I’ve been an expert witness in cases for plaintiffs and defendants and also served as an industry expert for market analysts and investors. I serve legal and financial services clients needing an expert in any of the following areas:

  • Digital marketing, especially search marketing, social media, Web analytics, and return on investment.
  • Software, especially Web and Internet technology, search technology, text analytics technology, agile/lean development process, and software patents.

Prior to becoming a senior strategist at Converseon, a digital media marketing agency, I spent three decades at IBM, retiring in 2008 as a Distinguished Engineer, an executive-level technical position held by fewer than 400 people. I have been granted 11 U.S. patents, I was on IBM’s Patent Review Board from 2006 to 2008, and I frequently evaluated patents central to IBM’s business interests. During my tenure at IBM, I spent eight years managing ibm.com, leading a team of 65 information architects, programmers, and Web designers, pioneering agile development techniques. Other projects included developing search technologies, such as the first commercial linguistic search engine, and introducing automatic categorization technology.

I am certified as a Distinguished IT Specialist by The Open Group and as a Web Analytics Specialist by Data Shaping. You can see all my credentials here.
