Flip Howard

Flip Howard is the co-founder and Principal of Lucid Private Offices and has worked in flexible workspace since 2001, back when the industry was still called “executive suites” and “coworking” wasn’t a word yet. That year he co-founded Meridian Business Centers. He rebranded it as WorkSuites in 2018 to reflect where the industry was heading, and again as Lucid Private Offices in late 2022 to clearly define its place in the market.

An entrepreneur since childhood, Flip has owned companies in technology, medical and collegiate laundry services. He serves on several nonprofit boards, including Franciscan University’s Board of Trustees, the Young Catholic Professionals National Board, the Global Workspace Association and The Pines Catholic Camp. Flip and his wife, Celeste, are both Franciscan University graduates and have seven children.
