“I’ve been inspired to see the Executive Education program ripple through an organization at an unprecedented pace, scale, and absorption.

It’s clear looking at Frei’s background, and her words, that she chooses to work with companies that exhibit this kind of cards-on-the-table, all-in attitude. She commuted across the country from her Cambridge residence for Silicon Valley-based Uber and West Hollywood-based Riot Games because she saw a potential for improvement, even at times of crisis.

It’s also clear that she isn’t one to just be satisfied with a seat at the table. So, while Frei’s appointment may come off as a cheap bandaid for a company looking to quickly squash scandal, it would be unwise to write her off as a token meant to simply check a box 2019 deems necessary. Now, with Frei on board, WeWork may be a company to watch when it comes to workplace culture and diversity inclusion efforts.
