After my studies I first worked at Philips, researching and pre-developing medical technology while experiencing the inner workings of such a large company. When that became less challenging, I looked for something new and eventually got a job as project leader in a hospital. Unfortunately this quickly disappointed me, so I had to rethink my career yet again. Eventually I decided to try and become a patent attorney: a profession that not many people know about, but that I find very engaging and fulfilling. It combines technical, legal and business perspectives in relatively short puzzle-like challenges, all to help technical innovators benefit from their inventions.
