Jonathan Railey from I.W.S.
16 W 12th Street. Optimize the work environment to meet the business challenge.
Jonathan Railey wears really nice suits. He walks out to the curb so he can greet his next customer at the appointed time. He is happy to walk around the neighborhood and introduce his friends to the other business owners. Every time I have spoken with Jonathan, no matter what the subject is, it always seems like he has spent considerable time thinking through the issue, weighing all options, formulating his answer into a short, concise sentence. I think his answers are going to show you what I mean.
By the way, I.W.S. stands for Integrated WorkSpace Solutions. What it means is super comfy chairs and the coolest possible office designs to make your workspace really-super-cool and yet still organized, like the most organized mo’ fo’ there ever was. I’m sure Jonathan could explain it better.
