WeWork has appointed real estate veteran Sandeep Mathrani as its new chief executive from February 18, replacing the two incumbent co-CEOs who have been running the show since the co-working company ran into rough weather in September after its botched initial public offering (IPO).
Mathrani, an Indian-American, joins from US-based real estate management company Brookfield Properties, where he was the CEO of its retail division. He will be part of the board and report to executive chairman Marcelo Claure. He was also the CEO of General Growth Properties for eight years prior to his stint at Brookfield. Gene
