Dr฀James฀(Jim)฀Fox฀BE, M.ENG.SCI, PHD.
Appointed฀21฀November฀2006
Dr Fox has more than 25 years experience as a public company director across a range of internationally based businesses. His
particular track record is in the building of innovative, technology based companies in competitive international markets. After eight
years working around the world with a large international management consulting company, he started his own technology based
product and service company in 1987. Following the merger of Dr Fox’s company with the then listed Vision Systems Limited in 1993,
he took over as the CEO of the combined group. In December 2006, Dr Fox retired as the CEO of Vision Systems Limited following a
heavily competed takeover of the company by a large USA based corporate which resulted in significant returns (close to $1 billion) to
shareholders. Dr Fox is also a Director of TTP Group (UK) Plc, Multiple Sclerosis Research Australia Limited, Genmark Diagnostics Inc
(USA) and BIOTA Holdings Limited.
