Summary
Kevin Brownell is a pragmatic leader and co-founder focused on making smart buildings and campuses deliver real human and commercial value across the built environment. With 13 years in smart building consultancy and a longer career in security and major account management, he designs pragmatic, stage-aware technology solutions that bridge infrastructure, IoT and stakeholder experience. As Steering Committee Secretary of the Digital Buildings Council he drives collaboration, common language and ROI-focused guidance to reduce market confusion and close the gap between promise and delivery.

Notably, he prioritises human satisfaction metrics over gadgetry, turning “art of the possible” into the “art of the practical.”
