Kiva Cowork, a coworking space provider in Santa Barbara, has appointed John Eidel as its new chief executive officer.

Eidel will work with the existing team, including former CEO Kristin Boehm, to ensure a seamless transition and continued delivery of exceptional coworking experiences, the company said.

In a letter addressed to the members of Kiva, Eidel expressed his “gratitude for Kristin Boehm,” and all she has done for the organization.

Eidel said he is excited to “lead [the] organization into a new era” by “build[ing] upon the strong foundation laid by the entire Kiva staff and community.”

Eidel said his “priority is to provide an exceptional workspace that meets the diverse needs of [its] members,” and his commitment is to create “a culture of inclusivity and collaboration.”
