Approximately 30 years ago virtual office spaces made a splash through the US and around the world with flexible space suitable for startups and entrepreneurs on the move. Also known as executive suites, the first such office was launched back in 1962 but did not gain mass popularity then and was limited by the lack of technology yet to come.
About 15 years ago, co-working spaces launched everywhere and become the new hip trend for startups and enterprise companies looking for a temporary space to launch new projects in different markets.
Virtual office space is taking over the world with large corporations like Google and world leaders agreeing that it could be the future for businesses.
What does the new normal of working from home mean for businesses post-pandemic? Will they still experience the same level of operation and productivity?

He is the current partner and Vice President of Business Development at Joon. He’s also a serial entrepreneur and visionary who has consulted numerous startups while developing his own portfolio of businesses from startup to sale. His business concentration has been within the areas of cellular, virtual offices, and VoIP (voice over internet protocol).
Listen in to learn about the efficiency businesses are experiencing after shifting from physical offices to operating completely virtually. You will also learn how a virtual phone works and the benefits of having one as a virtual business.
