ABOUT THIS REPORT
A growing cross-generational tribe of educated,
influential and affluent professionals are striving to
lead a nomadic life. For them, concepts like
borders, time-zones and office-spaces can be
ignored in lieu of a connected ecosystem of tools
and services that help them live, work and play in a
way that may seem extreme to many of us today,
but will become the norm for a much larger group
of professionals in the next few years.
