DAVID FOX is Nestor's President and CEO. He earned his PhD in
Mathematics at New York University and has been featured in both
business and technical publications. A top-level business executive,
computer scientist and mathematician, he founded his own computer
software company, ran the world's largest container leasing company, and
directed and brought public one of the pioneering companies in the
emerging field of artificial intelligence. As Nestor's Chief Executive
since 1989, Mr. Fox has led the company from its research and
development roots to an industry-leading provider of intelligent, image-
processing products and services. Mr. Fox recognized the exceptional
market opportunity for the company's video-based traffic management and
safety systems and successfully secured substantial external financing
for Nestor Traffic Systems, a division of Nestor, Inc. founded in 1997.
The funding supported ongoing product development and promotional
efforts that helped to establish the company's CrossingGuard video-based
automated red light enforcement and intersection safety system as an
emerging leader in the traffic safety market. As a result of
CrossingGuard's growing momentum, Nestor, Inc. completed a merger with
Nestor Traffic Systems, Inc. in 2001, establishing the company's
dedicated commitment to its advanced traffic safety products and
services. Profile
