Profile of new WeWork CEO Sandeep Mathrani - Business Insider

"We hired a leader — a great leader who's done one of the most amazing turnarounds in the retail industry, which is GGP," WeWork chairman Marcelo Claure said in a CNBC interview on Monday. "He took it from bankruptcy and sold it for tens of billions of dollars to Brookfield. That was a transformational leader, and the company has a great culture.

That source said he expects Mathrani to do well shoring up WeWork's revenues and negotiating liabilities with landlords. As of June 30, the company had $47 billion in long-term lease obligations. And the source said Mathrani will not, like Neumann,
