Duos Technologies Appoints Retired Brigadier General Craig Nixon as Chairman of the Board of Directors
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Duos Technologies Group, Inc. ("Duos" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DUOT), today announced the appointment of Brigadier General (Ret.) James Craig Nixon as the new Chairman of its Board of Directors, effective immediately.
Brigadier General Nixon succeeds Kenneth Ehrman, who has served as Chairman since 2020. Mr. Ehrman stepped down from the Board to focus on the continued growth of Halo Collar, a leading provider of smart pet safety solutions. Duos sincerely appreciates his leadership and contributions during a pivotal period in the Company's development.
"We are honored to welcome Brigadier General Craig Nixon as our new Chairman," said Chuck Ferry, CEO of Duos. "Craig brings a distinguished track record of leadership and operational excellence from both the military and private sectors. His strategic mindset and business acumen will be invaluable as we continue scaling our data infrastructure and energy businesses alongside our established AI technology platforms. We are equally grateful to Kenneth Ehrman for his leadership and support during a pivotal phase in Duos' growth, and we wish him continued success with Halo Collar."
Brigadier General Nixon is a decorated special operations veteran with over 29 years of military service, including seven tours in elite units such as the 75th Ranger Regiment and Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). Following his retirement in 2011, he transitioned into business leadership, serving as CEO of ACADEMI and later building Constellis Group into a global leader in security and training with over $1 billion in annual revenue.
In addition to his military and executive career, Nixon was one of the founding partners of the McChrystal Group, a leadership consultancy, and currently serves as CEO of Nixon Six Solutions, a growth and strategy advisory firm. He is also a board member and advisor to multiple government and technology organizations and a recognized speaker on geopolitics, leadership, and veterans' issues.
"I'm honored to step into the role of Chairman at such a transformational time in Duos' journey," said Nixon. "The Company's expansion into critical infrastructure sectors like edge data centers and power generations, coupled with its deep foundation in AI and machine vision, positions it for long-term opportunities. I look forward to supporting Chuck and the entire Duos team as we build on this momentum."
Nixon is a graduate of Auburn University, holds two master's degrees in military art and science and strategic studies, and was inducted into the Ranger Hall of Fame. He brings a unique combination of decorated military service, entrepreneurial success, and board governance experience to the Company.
