Geospatial industry veteran, Glenn Cockerton, has stepped down from his position of CEO of Spatial Vision having spent 24 years leading the innovative Australian company.

Spatial Vision has appointed Cameron Selkrig as its new CEO, effective today, 1 May 2024.

Selkrig comes to the role having spent more than 20 years in the IT, technology commercialisation and consulting fields, including in leadership positions at prominent companies servicing government and enterprise.

“I am honoured to be chosen as the CEO of Spatial Vision, a company with a remarkable history of delivering excellence to its customers and making a positive impact across many sectors,” said Selkrig.

“Together, we will build on this strong foundation, capitalise on new opportunities, and chart a path of sustained success.”

Cockerton, who will continue as the Chairman of Spatial Vision’s Board, said “We are thrilled to welcome Cameron as our new CEO”.

“His outstanding leadership and expertise will be invaluable in guiding Spatial Vision through its next phase of growth and development,” he added.

Spatial Vision was established in June 1999 by five founding staff with the assistance of RMIT University. Cockerton, who was appointed the company’s inaugural Chief Executive in 2000, has held numerous senior positions with industry associations and committees. He served multiple terms as a Board member of the Spatial Industries Business Association (SIBA), including as Chair during 2015 and 2016, and was co-Chair of the leadership group that was responsible for the highly regarded 2026 Spatial Industry Transformation and Growth Agenda launched in April 2017.

He was also a member of the Victorian Spatial Council for over four and half years, and the recipient of the Surveying and Spatial Science Institute’s (now Geospatial Council of Australia) Victorian Spatial Professional of the Year Award in 2007.
