b. 1979age 47Living
Co-founded WeWork with Miguel McKelvey in 2010, building a shared-office business around flexible rentals and communal workspaces. He led its expansion as CEO until 2019, when a failed attempt to take the company public exposed concerns about its finances and governance and led to his resignation. He later founded Flow, a residential real-estate company. His career encompasses both the growth of coworking and the risks of rapid expansion under concentrated founder control.
