Founder

That Space Coworking

In the early days of the coworking industry, I led a business analysis team to investigate various property portfolios' capacities to support coworking. A couple of years later I found myself working from That Space Coworking and when the opportunity came up to run it, I was excited take the role. 

As General Manager I take care of everything. Recruitment, on-boarding new members, organising networking events, manage facilities, amenities and services. But the best part is sharing the journey each start-up business in on and connecting them with my network where I can. Opportunities materialise in coworking thanks to chance encounters between unlikely allies. That is the intangible benefit of coworking that I nurture every day.
