Meet the Team
CIM is a team of experts who are passionate about making buildings better for owners, tenants and society.
Our vision
Our vision is to be the world leader in building analytics software, making it easy to operate large buildings at their peak operational performance, to deliver economic and environmental benefits for shareholders, tenants and society.
Why is this important?
Shopping centres, commercial offices, airports and other large buildings play a vital role in the community, involve thousands of stakeholders and have high daily foot traffic. They are also complex to operate. Managing the equipment that maintains temperature, air quality, ventilation and overall comfort is challenging, and when things go wrong, those responsible can suffer large penalties.
What we do
CIM transforms building operations by combining building analytics, machine learning and technical engineering support into real-time, data-driven insights. We empower owners and operators to maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of their portfolio to improve asset value, tenant comfort and sustainability. Our customers include large Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), super funds, government, cultural institutions and major property portfolio owners and operators.
Our leadership
David Walsh, Founder & CEO
David was inspired to create CIM because of the ’black hole’ he observed in the way data was being used within buildings. Companies were data-rich but information poor, and finding or fixing the root cause of wastage was a major challenge. Leveraging his combined experience in computer science, energy efficiency and the property industry, David built an innovative solution to prove the idea that making better use of existing data could improve building performance. Prior to moving to Australia, David worked in Ireland and Germany as a systems engineer Fortune 500 SAP and Intel, and as a director of technical services for a design, building and property company. He has a bachelor of computer science from Griffith College in Dublin.
