Founder & CEO

Dreamplex

Board Member

Great offices enable companies to successfully attract, engage, and retain the best talent. 

The workplace of the future is a space people love to go to. To meet, collaborate, socialize, focus, and grow. This takes a combination of design, hospitality, employee experience, and a flexible approach to lease terms. 

We support companies who care about their people by letting them outsource their entire workplace needs to us. With Dreamplex, they can upgrade their workplace experience without having to invest in additional team members, knowledge, resources, or budget.

From architectural design to events that are purposefully created to foster meaningful connections and from training & development to day-to-day hospitality, we are here to create a Better Day at Work for thousands of employees in Vietnam.

In this, we lean heavily on a great body of research in positive, organizational and behavior psychology, together with what we know about the new generation of Millennials and Gen Z that are filling up the workplace.

Throughout it all, we keep going back to whom we do this for: people. Not users, not workers. But real human beings. And our mission is to positively impact them personally and professionally by delivering a Better Day at Work, the place where we spend up to 100,000 hours of our lives.

Before I started my dream job, I worked in marketing strategy for around 15 years in Amsterdam, New York, Chicago, Singapore, and finally, Ho Chi Minh City. 

I spoke at conferences across the world and wrote for a large number of publications. I then made my "life pivot" in 2017, when I decided to pursue my "Ikigai" of letting people find their purpose and design their everyday life towards it.

I spend time not “working” with my wife and son.

FlexOS levels up people-centric hybrid and remote leaders. 

Already used across some of the most innovative companies in the world, we are excited to turn more organizations into a place people love to work – with all of the freedom & flexibility employees crave in this day and age!
