CEO

Crowd Connected

James Cobb is the founder and CEO of Crowd Connected, a British location technology company that helps organisations understand how people, assets, and spaces behave in the real world.


Since founding Crowd Connected in 2013, James has grown the company into a provider of indoor positioning, occupancy counting, and location-based engagement, with more than 400 deployments across 30 countries. Its technology combines self-calibrating Bluetooth sensors, a mobile SDK, and analytics to turn real-world movement and occupancy into operational insight.


James leads Crowd Connected's smart buildings business and works directly with estates and facilities teams on how buildings are actually used. His focus is closing the gap between planned and real-world occupancy, so that decisions about space, energy, scheduling, and capital investment rest on evidence.
