Coworking roots

Cat has deep roots in coworking, having been a member of seven different coworking spaces. She understands what makes a great space, what makes a great member, what makes a great team and what it looks like when all those things come together.

Having worked with hundreds of space operators around the world, Cat is particularly fond of the community-focused brands. As we like to say around here, we’re all in on indies.
