Michael Cockburn shares that after 12-months of work the new(est) Desana has been launched.

Key features? Agentic broker portal, portfolio platform, and fast track MSA. Seems the battle for enterprise multi-flex engagements is heating up.

In the latest episode of the TWIC podcast, Hector Kolonas sat down with Greg Miley (now at Clockwise Offices), whose career has touched almost every seat around the flex space table (prev at Flexioffices, Instant, WeWork, Kitt, and Desana), to discuss strategic career moves, to insights on industry trends and the role of brokers.

Simon Moore the COO at Serendipity Labs shares some takeaways from the recent WorkSpaces conference in Napa.

Core notes: Flex is universal, flex as an extension of corp HQs, direct > brokers, best-in-class > global networks and how Gable, Deskpass, Desana and Upflex are a growing part of the conversation.

We don’t usually cover management changes, but these move at the top of Clockwise are fairly noteworthy as Adam MacLeod, one of their original founders (and a Partner at their parent co. Castleforge) stepped into CEO role. In the same week, the firm set a goal of launching another 50 locations across Europe.

The team also welcome Greg Miley into the CCO role, following a flex career that feats well known brands like Desana, WeWork, The Instant Group and Kitt.

Mateo Miranda joins Michael Cockburn to discuss how Block – Jack Dorsey’s group of companies (Square, Cash App, Afterpay, TIDAL) are using real estate to more directly align with their core mission – decentralised, democratised economic empowerment – by using Desana.
