Ocius names US director

Ocius has appointed US-based investor and board advisor David Fox as a non-executive director. Fox brings to Ocius over 40 years of business experience in strategic partnerships, commercialisation and value creation, and adds a strong North American lens to Ocius. After building a market-leading technology distribution business, Fox relocated from Sydney to the United States at the dawn of the commercial internet to launch a digital commerce venture. He sold to a US public company and served as Vice President through 2003. Over the past three decades Fox has invested in over 100 emerging companies, with a focus on transformative innovation and building globally competitive ventures. Fox has a passion for Ocius – and a familiarity with the company. He was an early investor in 2002 and previously served on the board from 2003 to 2006. He continues to engage with founders, boards and investors, advising on growth strategy, governance and capital formation. His experience contributes once more to Ocius at a pivotal stage in the company’s development. Fox was appointed non-executive director on Friday 28 November 2026 at the company’s Annual General Meeting (AGM). At the conclusion of the AGM, Ocius held a public event to launch their first-of-its-type hybrid Bluebottle, which enables Ocius Bluebottles to operate in more locations globally. The Bluebottle Hybrid uses the same hull as the current 24-foot renewable energy powered Bluebottle, meaning that the hybrid vessels use the same logistics and trailers but carry both diesel power and their unique keel winch for storing and deploying thin line arrays.
