Focal Point Team

Alison Pages, Founder and CEO

Alison Pages is a results-driven business executive with over  30 years of experience in commercial real estate and business development. In 2014, Alison relocated to Asheville, NC in pursuit of a better quality of life. Prior to relocating, Alison worked as Executive Vice President at a Miami-based commercial real estate firm. Alison’s love for real estate and entrepreneurship has taken her in a different career path. Her attention to detail along with her fundamental business and real estate background provide the perfect balance as an entrepreneur. Since relocating, Alison has dedicated her time to investing and managing income-producing properties. While working from home, she started to feel isolated and yearned for more human interaction. She was looking to establish new business contacts and be part of a professional business community. Realizing that she is likely not alone with these sentiments, she decided to create Focal Point Coworking, the perfect coworking environment for independent contractors, remote workers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.
