DriveCam Inc., a global driver risk management company, announced that it has appointed Bryon Cook to the newly created position of vice president, data mining and analytics. In this position, Cook is responsible for the in-depth testing, analysis and development of optimization methodologies leveraging data from DriveCam’s global database of events reflecting risky driving behaviors across driver and vehicle types in commercial, consumer and government industry sectors.
“I’m excited that DriveCam is moving in this direction,” stated DriveCam president and CEO Bruce Moeller. “By mining our database of over 4 million risky driving events from different types of vehicles and industries, DriveCam is the only company to use the combination of sight, sound and data to improve the overall safety of mobile workforces and risky driving behavior.”
