Mark Wartenberg
Mark brings nearly 25 years of experience in environmental, data center and prototype design to Co3 Group's mission of designing and providing systems that support contemporary work. He has a broad range of experience not only in design but in program, project, construction and operations management in both the public and private sectors. Trained as a musician, architect, and mechanical engineer, over the last 5 years, Mark has focused his attentions on broadening the traditional definition of the workplace, understanding the impacts its' evolution is having and designing ways organizations can take advantage of the countless opportunities the new workplace presents. He has developed a special expertise in understanding technology and collaboration across distance and translating this into new "workplace infrastructure" designs.
Working with long time colleagues, Ann Bamesberger, and Eric Richert, Mark designed the workplace infrastructure at Sun Microsystems for the last 6 years. He created the workplace design standards deployed across the world to help enable Sun's Open Work flexible offices. After becoming the Director of Global Workplace Design Mark took on the responsibility for creating the functionality requirements that became the road map for Sun's IT organization as they evolved to support a majority mobile population. Mark designed and implemented a cost effective, and globally scalable telepresence solution for Sun at less than 25% of the cost of the current market leaders. This enabled a vastly broader implementation and an increased adoption rate.
Sought after as a speaker and expert on how to design and operate an effective contemporary workplace, Mark has presented to numerous forums including the AIA, CoreNet Global, the State of Massachusetts, City of Boston, Harvard, MIT and Tufts University. He has taught seminars on using technology tools and designing technology infrastructure for collaboration.
Mark joined Sun in 1998. Prior to Sun, Mark held a broad range of private and public sector positions designing innovative ways to solve problems including retail store design and implementation (American Stores/Albertson's), Data centers, operations and processing centers, secure money centers and branch banks (Fleet Bank/Bank of America), US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as well as architectural and engineering practice. His design solutions have been purchased for development by the US Government, the City of Boston and MIT.
Mark's education includes a BArch from the Boston Architectural College, BA from the University of Massachusetts, MM New England conservatory of Music and graduate studies in engineering at Northeastern University.

Eric Richert
Eric Richert brings years of experience to Co3 Group’s mission to design and prove systems that support contemporary work. Prior to starting Co3 Group, Ltd. with long time colleagues Ann Bamesberger and Mark Wartenberg, Eric was principal of 8 Corners Consulting, providing services to organizations such as Stanford University and the New Ways of Working Network. That work was based on nearly 20 years creating and managing pioneering work environments for Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Eric joined Sun in 1988 to manage the design and development of its Research and Development campuses and, as Vice President in Sun’s Workplace Resources organization, managed most aspects of corporate work environments. He co-founded Sun’s Open Work Solutions group in 1997 with Ann Bamesberger and started 8 Corners Consulting in 2007.
From 1997 to 2007 the Open Work program became a key part of Sun, with over half of its 35,000 employees choosing to be full participants. Open Work enabled participants to be as flexible and mobile as needed to operate “anytime, anywhere” in a diverse global company. The program directly contributed to achieving Sun’s vision of “The Network is the Computer,” now referred to as cloud computing. Annual surveys showed that Open Work was viewed as a primary employee benefit while allowing Sun to save or avoid nearly $400 million of costs from 2000 to 2007.
Open Work was widely seen as an innovative program that uniquely integrated technology, management policies and practices and real estate resources to support contemporary work. It was recognized through awards such as Corenet’s Global Innovation Award (2002) and the Alliance for Work Life Progress Innovative Excellence Award (2005).
Eric received his MBA from the University of California at Berkeley and his Master of Architecture degree from Syracuse University. He has been a speaker for the American Institute of Architects, Corenet, and the Environmental Design and Research Association, and has advised European Commission IT planners and the U.S. House Committee on Governmental Reform on how to support contemporary work. Eric has written for textbooks and has been frequently interviewed for articles about alternative work environments. He is an active charter member of the New Ways of Working Network.
