• A person’s desk can hint at their personality and work style.

• Business Insider reached out to seven successful people to get a glimpse of their workspaces.


Zillow Group CEO Spencer Rascoff, Trivago CEO Rolf Schrömgens, and Thrive Global CEO Arianna Huffington all have something in common. They’re successful business leaders currently helming big-name companies.

But, when it comes to their workspaces, they couldn’t be more different.

Rascoff favors a treadmill desk, Schrömgens likes to move around the office, and Huffington has an affinity for round tables and keeps a phone bed on her desk.

Your work desk can say a lot about your personality, Business Insider previously reported. That’s why we reached out to seven successful business leaders to get a glimpse of their desks.

Here’s what seven top CEOs shared with us:

Ontario native and Evernote CEO Chris O’Neill’s desk reflects his dual citizenship. His workspace boasts both a Canadian flag and an American flag. “It’s a reminder to think about how our company expands across languages and borders,” he told Business Insider.

O’Neill’s desk is also stocked with a plan on a page, tons of devices and products to test, and books. Currently, he’s holding onto Kim Scott’s “Radical Candor,” which he said “inspired me to view things differently and my role as leader differently.”

O’Neill keeps photos of his kids at his workspace, too. That’s especially fitting, given that the CEO credits his children with introducing him to Evernote. “Being a parent is one of biggest joys of my life — in fact, it is how I started to use Evernote,” he told Business Insider. “I am constantly keeping track of my kids’ schedules, meetings and other activities, and Evernote has been a calm in the chaos.”
