Best Use

Mark Pentecost, founder and CEO of a Manatee County-based multilevel marketing firm with nearly half a billion dollars in annual sales and 90,000 worldwide distributors, is a hyper goal-oriented leader.

So when Pentecost told architects and project managers he wanted “something different” for a new corporate headquarters for his firm, It Works Global, he meant it. “I wanted an office experience,” says Pentecost, “not an office building.”

Pentecost also wanted something on the water, where people could boat to work. He wanted something that aesthetically fit his life philosophy of more Jimmy Buffett than Warren Buffett. And he wanted something where employees and distributors could bring their families, take lots of pictures, have a good time and celebrate successes.
