Jim Cooley

Who is Jim Cooley?

As Zumobi's Chief Technology Officer, Jim is opening up a new line of

communication to the world through the Zumobi Tile platform. Prior to

joining Zumobi, Jim was a member of the Microsoft Intellectual Property

Ventures team, where he evaluated Microsoft technologies and helped

start-up companies deploy them. Jim spent more than 11 years in a

variety of senior technical roles at Microsoft, most recently as

Product Unit Manager in the Windows New Business and Products Group. He

held technical leadership roles in many embedded and media projects

including Windows CE 1.0, the Digital Memory Project and Services for

Smart Personal Object (SPOT) devices. Prior to joining Microsoft, Jim

held senior technical positions at Aldus, Microrim and the Walt Disney

Internet Group.

Jim is looking forward to seeing Tiles that form new

collaborative social groups or provide gateways into existing online

social groups, especially online games such as WoW, AC2, Halo 2, Second

Life, or … games that haven't been invented yet!
