Ja Ann Peterson joined Workspace Strategies in 2013 to oversee the daily sales and operations in one of our managed locations. With 15 prior years of experience in the Asset Management industry, Peterson gained a vast degree of experience in management, sales, training, and development, making for an easy transition to the shared workspace industry. Within a short period of taking on this role, she was able to exceed sales projections, while decreasing expenses which contributed to a significant improvement in her center’s bottom line.
She also managed to improve staff and member morale at the same time. This location quickly became our highest profitable managed location. In 2016, she was promoted from General Manager of one location to VP of Sales and Development overall managed locations. Today, we are experiencing above 95% occupancy with strong profits in all of our managed locations due to Ja Ann’s keen ability to manage and execute.
With an “always say yes” attitude, Peterson is constantly evolving her processes, and developing new ways to take care of the individual needs of each member while staying focused on the bottom line. Her infectious personality, attention to detail and creative insight makes her a natural for this ever-changing competitive industry.
Peterson graduated from the University of Mississippi with a degree in Advertising.
