Experience shaped by real-world workplace leadership.

Your independent workplace advisor

Michael Ippolito

Workplace leader + independent advisor

ITO was founded by Michael Ippolito, a workplace and facilities planning leader with more than 17 years of experience across technology, life sciences, healthcare, retail, and corporate workplace portfolios worldwide.

Work directly with Michael.

From the first conversation through the recommendations, Michael leads your engagement. You get direct access to senior workplace experience and advice shaped around the decision your organization needs to make.

His foundation in design began 20 years ago and informs how he connects space, function, and business needs.

An operator’s understanding.
An advisor’s perspective.

His experience spans workplace strategy, portfolio and occupancy planning, programming, forecasting, utilization analytics, standards, design direction, workplace technology, and executive decision support.

That experience informs an approach grounded in the realities of operating a workplace: business priorities, shifting headcount, competing needs, and decisions that have to move forward.

Alongside your team.

ITO works with corporate real estate, facilities, HR, finance, architects, brokers, and executive leadership as an independent strategic advisor.

Senior workplace thinking without the full-time headcount.
