About

The Studio

Welcome to the Studio!

I am an anthropologist, former business school professor, and experienced management consultant with 25 years of global consulting experience. I’ve taught in business schools in the US and UK for over a decade, and more recently I was a founding partner of the workplace strategy consultancy, OpenWork Agency. With OpenWork, I led workplace transformation projects throughout the US and in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.

I currently run the workplace strategy agency—ABW:Lab—which is a collaboration with architects, designers, and branding/identity agencies.

I’ve also written four books on innovation, culture, design thinking, coworking, and workplace strategy.

I am based in Austin, Texas.
