Tony Nicol
Chairman and Co-Founder
A true technologist at heart, Tony is passionate about delivering exceptional data experiences. Before VisualCortex, Tony held a range of leadership roles, including Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at EDS Consulting Services (2003 – 2005), Managing Director and Founder at Globalsoft (2005 – 2007), CTO at DWS (2007 – 2008), and Chief Data Officer for Wholesale Banking at National Australia Bank (2009 – 2010). In 2008, Tony founded Servian; Australia and New Zealand’s preeminent enterprise cloud and data consulting firm. When Servian was acquired by Cognizant in March 2021, he took the VisualCortex Video Intelligence Platform – which had been developed in-house at Servian in 2019 – and started a standalone venture. Tony saw the value of turning VisualCortex into a fully-fledged product offering, creating VisualCortex Pty Ltd as an independent software company in April 2021.
