VirTra has appointed Brandon Cox as Chief Technology Officer, effective 12 August 2024, reporting to VirTra Chairman and CEO John Givens. In this role, Cox will lead the acceleration of VirTra’s expansion into data analytics, drive key systems integrations, and lead the development of new products and enhancements to existing ones.
Cox brings over 20 years of expertise in creating and delivering immersive 3D virtual training environments, large-scale cloud consumer products, big data analytics platforms, systems integrations, and video games and entertainment products. He has a track record of innovation and leadership across various industries.
He previously worked with John Givens at Bohemia Interactive Simulations as the Senior Director of Software Development and DevOps. During his tenure, Cox led global teams in product development and operations, focusing on advanced simulation technologies. He was instrumental in developing VBS IG, and also directed the development of VBS Tactics, a web-based interface for real-time tactical exercises, and BISIM SDKs, which allow customers to integrate game-based technology into their solutions.
Cox has experience helping military and commercial customers adopt emerging technologies to solve mission-critical challenges. Most recently, he served for seven years as a technical leader at Amazon and Amazon Web Services (AWS), where he led teams in delivering large-scale consumer products, developer tools, and solutions to accelerate the adoption of cloud technologies.
“Brandon brings extensive engineering experience and an innovative mindset to VirTra, which will be instrumental as we continue to push the boundaries of simulation training technology during this important growth phase,” said Givens. “His leadership in innovation and systems integration will advance our products’ effectiveness and expand our impact in key growth areas like military. This appointment also allows our team to focus on expanding our market presence and delivering exceptional value to clients.”
