About John Buttery, Industrial Safety Consultant
John Buttery helps companies decide how to protect people working around industrial vehicles, and helps investors and attorneys understand the technology behind those decisions.
His background is industrial technology, not only safety. He started in litigation support, managing cases for a testifying economic expert in automotive franchise disputes. He went on to lead a geographic data company with more than 100 employees, build geospatial systems for major mining companies from Santiago, Chile, and develop dealer and OEM channels for machine control at Topcon and Hemisphere GNSS.
More recently he worked in autonomous industrial vehicles at Cyngn and AI pedestrian detection at Blaxtair, and he leads RioDatos LLC, a Tucson-based industrial safety technology company. That mix of roles, inside manufacturers, channels and end users, is what he brings to every engagement.
He is the author of three books on industrial safety technology and more than 300 articles, and he shares practical insight with more than 28,000 followers in the EHS and industrial safety community on LinkedIn.
