This is a special collaboration mini-series with Info-Tech Research Group, co-hosted with Brian Jackson.
Wayne Berger is the CEO of IWG Canada and Latin America, the global coworking and workspace leader. The company harnesses the power of flexible working through Regus, Spaces, No. 18, Open Office, HQ, and Signature by Regus.
He is a leader and advocate for the transforming world of work. With over 20 years of helping companies improve how they maximize their office and communities, Wayne is helping lead the acceleration of the workplace revolution— evolving from traditional office space to the new flexible work world.
Hear Wayne’s story on how he was recruited to become the regional CEO of Canada and Latin America for International Workplace Group – IWG. As the name suggests, IWG is all about providing office space – often in a flexible scenario and co-working environments. A couple of the brands it owns include Spaces and Regus.
He didn’t have long in-between roles at all. But he made sure to close out his role at Staples before diving into his new job. And he even took time to go for a run. Taking care of yourself is important, especially just ahead of taking on a taxing executive job. Go on vacation if you can. If you can’t, at least do something just for you.
Lastly, listen to Wayne as he referenced Jim Collins’ “From Good to Great” when approaching his mandate at IWG.
Enjoy!
