In a piece for The Huffington Post, GLG CEO Alexander Saint-Amand shares how our office was built to serve GLG employees as well as clients and guests who are always welcome to work out of our office.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When visitors come into our new office in Midtown Manhattan, one of the first questions we often get is, \u201cCan I have my own desk here?\u201d<\/p>\n

I tell people they are welcome to work out of our office, but that no one has a permanently assigned spot, not even me, the CEO. Still, the request validates our approach to designing an office our guests would want to use.<\/p>\n

As a company that brings together top thinkers, we needed to design a space that fostered conversation and learning. A place that feels intellectually alive and engaged. We opted against an office with personal desks and instead created a space that gives everyone a seat at the proverbial table.<\/p>\n

We are a global, 1,000-person professional learning company that brings people and businesses together with experts to help them learn about their complex strategic challenges. Our 65,000-square-foot New York headquarters is home to almost 300 of us. Each month GLG hosts dozens of roundtable events for our clients and experts; we wanted our headquarters to be a place where they could work and mingle before and after these sessions.<\/p>\n

So when it came to our new headquarters, we were looking for more than just an office. The space would need to support a core aspect of our business. We wanted an office that combined the intellectual curiosity and community of a university campus and the urgency of a newsroom. We wanted space for people to be private and a place where people could come to work, learn, recharge, and be inspired.<\/p>\n
