Henrik works as a senior IP strategist and has significant experience in developing and supporting clients’ IP operations with a clear business mindset. His key competence lies in developing commercial IP strategies and IP organizations.

Henrik is also experienced when it comes to executing IP strategies.

Knowing that IP strategy work may have organizational implications, Henrik has significant experience in reviewing and enhancing IP organizations in view of internal IP infrastructure including ways of working – processes, roles, connecting IP operations to relevant internal stakeholders in the company, as well as competence needs and governance of IP, KPIs, and staff.
