The Executive Centre

What The Executive Centre does

The Executive Centre (TEC) is a privately held, founder-led premium flexible workspace operator headquartered in Hong Kong, operating 260+ centres across 38 cities in 15 markets throughout Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Australia. Founded by Paul Salnikoff in 1994-1995, the company serves approximately 60,000+ members with a portfolio spanning private offices for teams of 1-200, coworking memberships (hot desks, dedicated desks, day offices), virtual offices, meeting and event spaces, and fully managed enterprise office solutions.

TEC's product stack is anchored in Grade A CBD locations and built around a recurring revenue model — primarily monthly subscriptions for private offices, coworking memberships, and virtual office packages, supplemented by usage-based meeting/event revenue and multi-year Managed Enterprise Solutions contracts. Its GTM motion is enterprise-led, with field sales teams securing large multi-location deals (e.g., 465,000 sq ft across Bengaluru/Hyderabad/Chennai for 6,000+ workstations, and ~90,000 sq ft across Mumbai/Pune for ~1,010 workstations), complemented by direct digital channels for SMBs and individual professionals. Customer mix spans large enterprises and GCCs (Pfizer, Salesforce, Ericsson, X, Standard Chartered, SOM), mid-market professional services firms, and a long tail of professionals and SMEs.

The technology layer includes the MyTEC Portal, mobile app, and WeChat Mini-Program as the digital member platform, supplemented by a global membership network enabling cross-border workspace access. In March 2026, TEC launched ECHO, an internal AI agent embedded in Microsoft Teams, alongside a broader network of AI agents across customer service, marketing, digital engagement, and operations, with data mining and analytics capabilities supporting demand forecasting and hyper-personalised client solutions. Strategic partnerships with AmCham Hong Kong, the FinTech Association of Hong Kong, the Urban Land Institute, CBRE, Herman Miller, and TMF Group reinforce distribution and brand positioning. TEC operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries in 13 jurisdictions and is identified as a leading market participant in the global coworking market alongside WeWork, IWG/Regus, Spaces, Industrious, Awfis, and Ucommune.
