The Innovators: Spark's Shervonne Cherry
By Matt Rothstein
summary
Shervonne Cherry, Director of Community & Partnerships at Spark Coworking, is one of Bisnow’s Innovators. The series features men and women who have persevered and built a new future for themselves and their companies — even during the unprecedented adversity of the last year. Cherry calls the period in between when a startup first starts to see success and before it has the stability needed to commit to a multiyear lease a “gray area” not addressed properly by either traditional office landlords or the largest coworking operators. Cherry’s focus on the gray area, emphasis on second-and third-tier cities, and efforts to do good while she does business.
