Bio
Erik B.
Chris Buntel is the most technically savvy and strategic-minded attorney I've met in my career. His substantial credentials only hint of the quality talent he brings to the picture. As only one part of an all-encompassing legal role at Millenniata, in Provo UT, he has built and watched-over the value of the startup company through the definition and expansion of its intellectual property. He perceives beyond the technical "what" and well into the strategic "how" and "why". Goal oriented, Dr. Buntel is anything but a nine-to-five colleague. I have observed him carry the mantle of his broad responsibilities for months with the same intensity as required of those of us in the technology / R&D group during the most demanding, foundational part of our parallel work. To that point, he is no stranger to the scent of lit midnight oil. I respect Chris, I relate well to his professional world-view and enjoy his company. Highly recommended.
