Brian, who is well-known for founding The Forum for Expatriate Management (FEM), has worked in the relocation and global mobility market for over 40 years and is one of the most highly regarded thought leaders in the profession. Prior to his current advisory roles as strategy director at Benivo and board advisor to a leading London-based law firm, Brian worked as managing partner, human capital at EY, where he was responsible for the human resources and global mobility service line.

CEO and co-founder of AltoVita Vivi Cahyadi Himmel said, “I am so excited to be working with Brian. He is a true legend in our industry and his reputation and years of experience will help take AltoVita to the next level. Brian will be an invaluable source of industry expertise and a true mentor to me, my co-founder, COO Karolina Saviova, and our leadership team. Brian will also be actively involved in our upcoming summit, which will be held in London in May 2022.”

Brian added, “I have watched in awe as AltoVita has come from a small start-up to become the leading technology platform for corporate accommodation in just four short years. Vivi and Karolina are inspirational female role models and what they have established is truly breath taking. I am delighted to be working with them both as they continue to build the best technology platform in the corporate accommodation industry.”
