Larry English is a workplace futurist, passionate about all things innovation, particularly technology that drives disruptive change.
Well before remote work became the norm, Larry was at the forefront of the virtual model. Twenty-five years ago, Larry, along with his two longtime friends and colleagues — Dave Rosevelt and Eric Van Luven — built their own company where employees could work virtually, and the culture would contribute to business success and employee happiness. Since then, we have expanded to more than 1,400 team members with locations across the US and India.
In 2020, Larry published Office Optional: How to Build a Connected Culture with Virtual Teams, a roadmap to virtual work success. The book distills Larry’s insights from more than two decades leading Centric, a remote-first company with an award-winning culture.
Larry continues to share his insights on Forbes.com, where he shares the latest thinking on all the ways the workplace is evolving, from leadership and organizational culture to technology and beyond.
