Adam Neumann

Adam Neumann possessed an incredibly rigorous, deeply resilient background in mass-market sales, complex real estate leasing, and raw commercial entrepreneurship. Having successfully served in the Israeli Navy and operating as a fiercely dedicated entrepreneur who had launched several disparate startups before mastering the highly complex economics of commercial subleasing, this intensely aggressive foundation provided the exact strategic leverage required to successfully pioneer the incredibly massive WeWork network.

Adam Neumann is a fiercely visionary Israeli-American entrepreneur, highly aggressive real estate architect, and the profoundly influential original CEO and founding patriarch fundamentally responsible for architecting the massively viral WeWork co-working empire. Operating as an incredibly charismatic salesman in New York City who previously co-founded Green Desk with Miguel McKelvey, Neumann aggressively recognized the massive, completely untapped demand for highly aesthetic, community-driven flexible office space following the 2008 financial crisis. In 2010, he relentlessly launched WeWork. By fiercely engineering incredibly rapid global expansion fueled by massive billions in venture capital from SoftBank, his absolutely rigorous (and highly controversial) strategic leadership completely revolutionized commercial real estate. Despite his dramatic ouster, his massive corporate execution permanently established WeWork as a globally recognized, multi-billion dollar brand.
