Founder/Director

I founded YoCo in 2020 after spotting a gap in the market to use my experience and expertise in the coworking and serviced office industry to provide coworking services to landlords, developers, agents and existing coworking providers. 

I have successfully overseen the launch and end to end management of 20 serviced offices and coworking sites across QLD, NSW and NT over the past 12 years working for some of the biggest players in the industry in various markets.

Our focus in the successful management and business performance across our existing 4 locations whilst growing the YoCo network of coworking centres across Australia.
