Ellen wears many colors

With a strong background and education in both the arts and sciences, Ellen Bierman brings an expansive lens to the legal world, the business world, and ski instruction and snow sports training. She combines an abundance of creativity to imagine the possibilities -- with the analytic capacity and depth to decipher complex technologies and the ability to think strategically to maximize business opportunities.

 

After a successful career as a software engineer and tech leader at Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard, Ellen became a patent attorney, initially specializing primarily in software and computers. As a business and tech savvy lawyer, she loves helping inventors and entrepreneurs leverage tools to bring their ideas to life. Whether it involves AI or operating systems, machine learning, brand protection for an array of consumer products, or potentially protectable designs -- Ellen is a fearless advocate and advisor who works tirelessly to protect her clients’ intellectual property. 

 

In her role as a ski instructor and snow sports trainer, Ellen combines her love for the sport with a passion for helping her clients increase their performance and reach their potential. She is goal-oriented, a clear communicator and an optimist who is focused on creating a supportive, trusting environment where skiers and snow sports professionals at any level can gain new knowledge and hone their skills in ways they never imagined possible.

projects & passions

I am passionate about empowering others in all kinds of disciplines to expand their horizons and learn new things. Whether I am training ski professionals to achieve high levels of certification or become better teachers; collaborating with entrepreneurs to identify new and better ways to make a difference, while protecting their inventions; or creating opportunities for novices and experts alike to have fun, meaningful learning experiences in the mountains – I am all about inspiring others to gain the knowledge and tools to help them become the best versions of themselves.
