Joy Shillman is the daughter of Robert J. Shillman, the billionaire founder and former chairman of Cognex Corporation, a leading provider of machine vision systems, and his wife Diane Shillman. Born into a prominent family known for its technological innovation and philanthropy, Joy has maintained a relatively low public profile compared to her father. She serves as the Secretary and Treasurer of the Shillman Family Foundation, a private charitable organization established by her parents. The foundation provides grants to various causes, including pro-Israel advocacy groups, conservative media outlets, and initiatives combating antisemitism and radical Islamism, such as the David Horowitz Freedom Center and Canary Mission. Little additional public information is available about her personal life, education, or professional activities outside the family foundation.
