VisionTrack, a leading AI video telematics and connected fleet data specialist, has appointed Richard Lilwall as chief executive officer.

Lilwall succeeds former CEO Ben Pickard as he returns to his role as chief financial officer.

He brings with him a wealth of experience in the telematics, connected vehicle, IoT and software sectors having founded his own telematics company before moving into senior corporate leadership with Teletrac Navman, later serving as chief executive officer of Quartix Technologies Plc.

Kevin Spencer, chief executive of parent company Markerstudy Group, said: “I’d like to thank Ben for his continued commitment to VisionTrack and welcome Richard to the team. Richard’s credentials speak for themselves and with the rapidly evolving technology landscape and continued importance of customer centricity and data-led insight, he is well placed to propel VisionTrack to its next chapter.”

Lilwall commented: “Safety and technology are at the heart of everything we do and as we embark on the next phase of our growth journey, my focus will be on unlocking the potential of video telematics and AI-driven innovation to deliver greater customer value, foster strategic partnerships and ultimately transform safety for all road users.

“This really is a team effort and I’m looking forward to working with colleagues to help VisionTrack reach its full potential.”
