Genevieve is the co-founder and editor for Night Owls Press, an editorial services and digital publishing company for small businesses and organizations. In a former life, she worked as an economics researcher for international organizations (Asian Development Bank, United Nations, Innovations for Poverty Action, and several NGOs) and lived in Asia for several years. She has written extensively on issues related to improving the business environment, sparking economic growth, and helping micro-entrepreneurs.

After getting a case of cabin fever working on their own, Genevieve and her Night Owls Press co-founder Andrew Tang became dazzled with the concept of coworking. “Share resources! End the isolation! Spark collaboration!” They set out to unravel the hype, collecting stories from across the coworking universe in their book, “Working in the UnOffice: A Guide to Coworking” (http://www.CoworkingGuide.com).
