Leadership History
5 leaders · 2010 to present
WeWork reported $3.245 billion in FY2022 revenue, then filed for Chapter 11 in November 2023 and emerged private in June 2024. John Santora is CEO. Current disclosure is limited because the company is no longer public.
WeWork makes money from workspace memberships, private offices, enterprise workspace solutions, meeting rooms, management agreements, revenue-sharing partnerships, and workplace services. Before bankruptcy, the core model depended on long-term master leases and short-term memberships. After restructuring, WeWork is emphasizing lower-risk partnerships where landlords share more of the real estate exposure.
