A Journey Spanning Continents and Industries . My journey started in 2008 during my college years, when I worked part-time in the warehouse of my uncle’s energy company in Nigeria. His company focused on bringing electricity to rural Nigerian villages. I started as a warehouse worker and was eventually promoted to a managerial position. I continued in this position until 2016 when I moved to the U.S. for a master’s in project management to gain deeper insights into project dynamics beyond procurement and supply chain. Following the master’s, I earned an advanced diploma in supply chain management from Northeastern University. My career has spanned various industries like hospitality and manufacturing, including a significant time in consulting. Each role, from warehouse dispatcher to senior manager, has contributed to my current position. The journey culminated in Global Partners, where I was promoted to director within a year and a half of joining.
Top Patent Brokerage and Valuation Service 2026
Founded in 2008, IPOfferings LLC has helped patent owners monetize their patents for the past 18 years by providing a comprehensive package of services. In recognition of its commitment to excellent client service, Business Management Review is honored to award IPOfferings the 2026 Top Patent Brokerage and Valuation Services title. The company began as a patent broker but quickly recognized the need to expand into additional services, including patent valuation, patent assertion, and IP consulting, in order to fully meet the needs of the patent owners it represented. IPOfferings’ client base consists of inventors, businesses, universities, and other entities that own one or more patents and seek to monetize those patents. Monetization can include selling a patent, licensing a patent, asserting a patent against infringers, or other arrangements that generate revenue for the patent owner. All patents submitted to IPOfferings are first reviewed by the company’s management team to determine whether (a) the invention covered by the patent offers a solution or solves a problem, (b) a product based on the patent is affordable and practical, and (c) producing such a product would be a profitable undertaking for the business that acquires the patent. Over half of the patents submitted to IPOfferings are rejected as brokerage projects..

Market Research and Consulting Company
Good decisions start with good data, but not all data is created equal. Public reports show patterns but rarely explain them. Company filings tell you what happened, not what’s coming next. In fast-moving or highly localized markets, the most valuable intelligence often doesn’t appear online at all. Whether launching a product, entering a new region or reassessing a supply chain, the difference between success and failure often comes down to the quality of insight behind the decision. Inaccurate assumptions, delayed information or missing context can quietly derail strategy. QYResearch exists to turn these unseen details into clear, actionable intelligence. It is a global market research and consulting firm that delivers industry analysis, business intelligence and strategic insight to organizations worldwide. Its strength lies in providing verified, granular data that traditional firms often miss, offering clarity in sectors and regions where standard datasets fall short. It has also established regional operations and local research teams in Japan, the U.S., Switzerland, South Korea, Indonesia and India. Since 2020, QYResearch has increased its revenue by 70 percent, driven by its commitment to accurate and actionable data. Building on this momentum, the firm plans to expand further by recruiting in Germany, Mexico, Brazil, the UAE, Vietnam, Singapore and other key markets. “For nearly two decades, we’ve focused on building deep, direct access to markets that go far beyond what public data can show. Today, we support over 65,000 clients, including BASF, Sony, LG, DuPont and Samsung, across 70 countries. Our intelligence spans over 30 industries, from semiconductor tools and specialty chemicals to emerging materials and niche consumer goods,” says Mark Liu, director of U.S. operations. Intelligence Gathered at Ground Level Analysts across our global divisions—in Europe, the U.S. and Asia—speak with CEOs, COOs, general managers, factory managers, distributors, suppliers, competitors and consultants, gathering facts on the ground instead of waiting for them to appear in filings or press releases. This field-based approach offers unmatched accuracy. Each data point is validated through a proprietary stakeholder mapping system that involves 30 roles across the value chain, designed to surface gaps and ensure end-to-end coverage. Every year, more than 8,500 sector-specific experts conduct thousands of interviews to collect insight that generic datasets can’t reach.

EDITORIAL
Monetizing Innovation with Discipline and Market Precision
In an era where intangible assets increasingly define enterprise value, the ability to accurately broker, value, and monetize patents has become a strategic imperative. This issue of Business Management Review examines how disciplined processes and market rigor are reshaping intellectual property into a measurable driver of financial performance.
Our cover story, IPOfferings LLC, recognized as the Top Patent Brokerage and Valuation Service 2026, exemplifies that rigor. Founded in 2008, the firm has spent 18 years helping inventors, businesses, and universities convert patents into revenue through brokerage, valuation, assertion, and IP consulting.Its model begins with selectivity: more than half of submitted patents are rejected after management review to ensure technical practicality, affordability, and commercial viability. For assets it represents, IPOfferings deploys a structured two track brokerage approach, combining comprehensive marketing through its IP MarketPlace platforms with a targeted executive level sales campaign. Complementing this is a tiered valuation framework based on six, 12, or 18 patent metrics, enabling balance sheet reporting, M&A support, and collateralization decisions. The result is a disciplined pathway from patent ownership to profitable monetization.
Leadership perspectives in this edition reinforce the centrality of structured management. Joshua Gore, Director of Sunland Management Solutions, Sunland Logistics Solutions, outlines how Business Performance Management anchored in measurable objectives across safety, process leadership, technology, customer value, and EBITDA drives resilience in volatile supply chains.
Gerard Staudt, Senior Managing Director, Head of Dispositions, North America at Savills North America, underscores the importance of upfront approvals, rigorous market analysis, complete documentation, and rapid response in complex asset transactions.
Together, these insights affirm a clear mandate: disciplined evaluation, data driven execution, and operational clarity convert assets into advantage. We invite you to explore this issue and examine how structured expertise is redefining value creation across industries.
