Hodan Aden is the CEO and Co Founder of Empire AI, the company behind The Office Planner, a platform that combines occupancy data, employee insights, and optimization models to support evidence based workplace planning.
With over 15 years of experience in workplace strategy, Hodan challenges the industry’s reliance on benchmarks and rule of thumb ratios. Her work focuses on replacing assumptions with measurable work pattern data, helping organizations design offices that reflect how people actually work.
Empire AI’s optimization model for right sizing meeting rooms is peer reviewed and published in the Corporate Real Estate Journal, demonstrating how algorithmic planning can reduce unnecessary meeting room space without compromising availability.
It is not about reducing square meters.
It is about correcting the mismatch between design assumptions and real work patterns.
