About Cognism

Cognism is a sales intelligence company. Sales teams use its database to find the right people to contact at other companies, with accurate details, and to keep their records up to date. It describes itself as a "global B2B data company, built for modern revenue teams", and it focuses on teams selling into Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with data collected in a compliance-first way.

The company dates from 2015 and has a London headquarters on the 11th floor of The Shard, 32 London Bridge Street, with a registered office in the City of London. The pages we read did not name its founders, so we have not listed them. It lists its leadership team, with Dominic Allon as chief executive.

Its products include sales intelligence, an MCP and API for connecting data to custom workflows and AI assistants, CRM enrichment and links to other sales tools. Its stated aim is to help revenue teams find the right people, move faster and grow without guesswork, and its three core values are deeply understanding customers, owning outcomes together and celebrating impact wherever it comes from.

For young people, Cognism is a company where entry routes are likely in sales, marketing, customer success and engineering. We did not find a published early-careers scheme, so check its careers page for current roles.
