Rosiland began her intellectual property career at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, where she served as a Primary Patent Examiner and earned five promotions in six years. She later brought her technical and IP expertise into corporate innovation leadership, where she focused on building the systems and processes that help organizations identify, develop, and advance valuable inventions.

At Verizon, Rosiland built the enterprise patent program for Global Technology Solutions from the ground up, establishing the operating model, invention intake process, performance metrics, and executive reporting structure across eight CIO organizations. Between 2020 and 2024, annual invention disclosures grew by 69%, and patent filings more than doubled. Through targeted engagement and her Patent Lab model, she also helped grow the active inventor base to 456 and increase first-time inventors by 25% within 60 days.
