He loves the challenge of vetting, developing, and guiding innovation through the complexities of engineering, IP development, operations, business development, licensing, and sales channel strategies. He has experienced the highs of startups, taking a mere idea from proof of concept to patent, and then seeing it applied to billions of mobile devices. Guylain has bootstrapped teams, secured venture financing, and negotiated successful exits and spinoffs. He has also experienced the lows, be it a lack of financing, adverse market conditions or winding down operations. It’s all part of a learning journey and he knows he can help others navigate their own.
