Unispace Appoints New Global Leaders, Creates New C-Suite Roles to Accelerate Business Growth

BOSTON, Oct. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --Today global workplace strategy, design and construction firm Unispace announced the appointment of leadership positions in all regions it does business—Americas, Asia, EMEA and Australia/New Zealand (ANZ)—as well as C-suite positions to support global business operations.
