Bio
With a B.Sc. in computer science with first class honours, Brett Feldon started his career in 1992 designing, building, and implementing software for telecommunications billing. He entered the speech industry in March 1996 as software engineer for Voice Link and has been involved ever since with building speech recognition platforms.
Brett assisted with the process of merging VoiceLink into Scitec (which later became VeCommerce) in 1998 and was rapidly promoted to the position of Chief Technology Officer in July 2004. He has provided assistance and/or oversight for some of the most complex speech applications in the world, including VeBet (TAB Limited, Tabcorp, Magna Entertainment, Youbet, Ladbrokes, Littlewoods BetDirect); the first deployment of SayAnything outside Nuance – and only the second deployment in the world (Suncorp Metway); and the first commercial deployment of speaker verification in Australia.
In September 2007, Brett relocated to the UK office to take up the role of General Manager, EMEA, heading up and developing VeCommerce's operation in that region.
Brett’s work has been featured in leading industry publications and he is a frequent speaker at industry conferences and user group events worldwide.
