Great community that keeps me productive!

Why the communal membership works for me:

When I joined THE coLABorative five years ago, I had just moved into a role working remotely. As a husband and dad of three, we have an active home and I was looking for a place nearby that would allow me to focus on work and not be a distraction to my family. The communal membership was the perfect solution! Since then, I’ve grown to appreciate not just the physical space to work, but also the friends I’ve made and the energy boost I get from working alongside and networking with the diverse group of members at THE coLAB. As the marketing lead for our supply chain and procurement businesses at Genpact I am responsible for developing and executing multi-channel marketing programs to increase awareness and drive demand for our services in these areas globally.

Fun Fact:
I enjoy working with my hands and restoring older homes in my free-time. In 2017, my wife and I purchased a historical home in Mt. Clemens. We then spent the next 10 months renovating it; choosing to do most of the work ourselves with the help of close family and friends. We’re now just getting started on our next project, helping a family member restore their recently purchased home!
