("Seeing Machines" or the "Company")

 

Changes to Board of Directors

 

Seeing Machines Limited (AIM: SEE), the AIM-listed technology company with a focus on computer vision based operator monitoring and intervention technology and services, announces the following changes to its Board of Directors, all to take effect on 15 January 2014.

 

After serving on the Board of Seeing Machines Limited for over 13 years, Dr Alex Zelinsky will retire from his position as a Non-executive Director. Dr Zelinsky is the current Chief Defence Scientist of the Commonwealth of Australia and is the Chief Executive of Australia's Defence Science and Technology Organisation. Due to the increasingly high demands of these roles, Alex has advised the Company that he has decided it is appropriate to focus his energies on his current full-time roles. Dr Zelinsky was one of the founders of Seeing Machines and is recognised widely for his leading expertise in computer vision technologies.

 

The Company is pleased to announce that Dr Rudolph Edward (Rudy) Burger, 55, will join the Board as a Non-executive Director. Over the past twenty-five years, he has founded five digital media technology companies in the US, run a European public company, and served as a senior executive for two global 500 companies. He is widely recognised as an effective, dynamic leader with a proven track record in management, strategic planning, business development, and M&A. Dr Burger is currently Founder and Managing Partner of Woodside Capital Partners, an investment bank headquartered in Palo Alto, California. He also serves as a Board Member of Bango PLC (AIM: BGO) and served as a Board Member of ServicePower Technologies Plc (AIM: SVR) until 2012. Rudy has a BSc and MSc from Yale University and a PhD from Cambridge University. 

 

The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of James David Walker, 44, to the Board as CFO. James joined the Company as Chief Financial Officer in June 2013. His contributions since then have been substantial, not the least of which is his leading role, with the CEO, in successfully driving and concluding the Company's recent Placing. James is a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.

 

Terry Winters, Chairman of Seeing Machines, commented: "The Board warmly acknowledges Dr Zelinsky's contribution to the Company over many years and wishes him continued success in his roles with the Department of Defence. We welcome Dr Burger and look forward to the commercial and technical contributions he will bring as a result of his tremendous experience and insights. The promotion of James Walker to the Board reflects the strong contributions he has made so far in his role as CFO. I am pleased we have a strong Board in place to take the Company forward."
