Our Story
Meet Jake Sherwood, who saw the profound connection between art and work. As an artist, Jake’s journey led him to develop the team lab as a way to share his insight.
Moving from London to Berlin, Jake met Margherita Russo. After a successful career in event management, Marghe found her love for bringing people together began to lose its meaning in cultures where burnout prevailed and vision was lacking.
Despite their diverse backgrounds, Margherita and Jake share a common belief that work can be amazing when the culture is right.
All your company’s results happen downstream from your team’s systems, skills and collaboration.
So why are these so hard to get right?
“Hard things become fun
when the culture is right.”
- Jake Sherwood
The truth is systems, skills and collaboration aren't built by themselves. It’s your team’s culture that inspires effective systems, empower skill,
and unleashes collaboration - leading to
your company’s remarkable success.

Meaning to guide us
Good work is inherently meaningful so with every decision we’re careful to not mistake our whys for why-nots.

Because it is only when we are aware of our potential that we are able to achieve it, we’re constantly looking for ways to raise our awareness.
Curiosity to heal us
If something is not going right it is curiosity that turns judgement into empathy, and problems into opportunities.
Integrating new team members
Onboarding for culture, not just work, is proven to reduce employee turnover.
