Amy Lientz, director of Idaho National Laboratory’s Partnerships, Engagement and Technology Deployment directorate, recently announced that Jason Stolworthy will be returning to the lab:
“I am pleased to announce the arrival of the new director for Technology Deployment, Jason Stolworthy. Jason is not new to INL; he is returning after spending two-and-a-half years overseas establishing Qatar's first Intellectual Property Management and Technology Transfer Office. Before leaving INL, Jason served five years as a technology transfer licensing executive before becoming the Technology Deployment deputy director.
As the former deputy director, Jason developed new ways of conducting business that led to improved operations, and he was a leader in establishing collaborative relationships among the national laboratories. He also implemented a contractor oversight model that resulted in a DOE-wide Fast-Track CRADA, and his software license restructuring efforts led to increased licensing executions.
Jason will lead a well-established team committed to advising and assisting researchers in commercializing technology and providing partnership assistance in market intelligence, industry and university technology transfer networking, education and awareness, and developing tools and processes to better enable success.
Congratulations are also in order for Mark Kaczor. Mark has been the TD acting director and was promoted to senior commercialization lead. He is executing many new initiatives to support commercialization needs in energy and security. Mark recently brought an open source software senior expert, Paul Berg, to INL to establish an open source software management program.
I also would like to extend my gratitude to Mark for his leadership over the past year in his role as the acting manager and for establishing a mission-focused team.
I look forward to working with Jason and his team on exciting new opportunities.”
