James Cox

James Cox is the visionary CEO and Founder of BioTalent, a company he launched in 2018 to revolutionise STEM recruitment. With a passion for science, sales, and connecting exceptional talent with pioneering organisations, James has led BioTalent to become a trusted partner in the life sciences sector. His leadership is defined by a commitment to innovation, excellence, and fostering growth within the global STEM landscape.

Before founding BioTalent, James honed his expertise at Hobson Prior, where he achieved record-breaking permanent billings and played a pivotal role in expanding the Acacium Group's global footprint. In 2023, James spearheaded BioTalent’s acquisition by The IN Group, creating a global specialist division with over 60 experts dedicated to solving the talent shortage in life sciences.

Outside of work, James cherishes time with his wife and two young children. A sports enthusiast, he’s often found on the tennis court, skiing down mountains, or capturing moments as a passionate amateur photographer - a craft he once pursued professionally, with his work featured in Red Bull publications and F1 events.
