    Differentiating Facilities advises companies on how to make building services a differentiator in the war on talent - and measure success aligned to business objectives.Most recently we have led the strategy for planning, opening and operating x 2 HQ buildings in Amsterdam (20k sq m) and Madrid (30k sq m) for a blue chip global client. Each building is a co-location of 20 operating companies to deliver a more co-ordinated business strategy.

He created a hybrid model for operating the buildings – between a tenanted building and a sole occupier to align with business objectives.
