Stratford Intellectual Property is pleased to announce its expansion into the EMEA region with the appointment of John Hartley as Vice President of Sales, EMEA.

Based in the UK, John will spearhead Stratford’s business development efforts across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. With extensive experience in cybersecurity, semiconductors, robotics, SaaS, IoT, and AI-powered solutions, he has a proven track record of helping organizations scale in highly technical markets by aligning innovation with business growth.

"Our clients increasingly operate in a global context, and expanding into EMEA is a natural step in Stratford’s growth,” said Jordan Pynn, Vice President at Stratford Intellectual Property. “John’s expertise and international perspective make him the right person to lead this effort and ensure our clients receive world-class support wherever they are scaling.”

What this expansion means for Stratford and our clients:
✔ A dedicated international presence in EMEA
✔ Stronger support for innovators scaling in complex, technology-driven industries
✔ Continued delivery of pragmatic IP strategies that maximize long-term value

John is joining Stratford’s growing global IP team, which just recently welcomed John Browne as Vice President of Sales, North America, based out of our satellite presence in San Diego. With Browne’s strong foundation in enterprise sales, go-to-market strategy, and experience across AI, FinTech, and startup ecosystems, Stratford is building out a sales leadership team that reflects the global reach of its clients.

With sales leadership now anchored in both the UK and the U.S., Stratford is well positioned to deepen client engagement, broaden its international footprint, and continue driving value for innovators and technology leaders worldwide.

"We’re excited to welcome both John Hartley and John Browne to Stratford. Their combined expertise gives us dedicated leadership on two continents, positioning us to better serve innovators worldwide with pragmatic, business-aligned IP strategies." — Myriam Davidson, Vice President at Stratford Intellectual Property
