"When that first profitable quarter was followed by a second, and then a third, you could feel the momentum—not just in the numbers, but in the confidence of the organization," says WeWork CEO John Santora. Nearly half of the Fortune 100 are now WeWork members, part of what Santora describes as a broader shift in how companies balance their portfolios between owned, long-term lease, and flex space. To serve that demand, WeWork itself is evolving beyond its traditional landlord role. For clients like Amazon, it does more than provide farflung employees a place to go, also sourcing turnkey office space for the company. The new WeWork model is resonating beyond U.S. borders: In late 2025, a WeWork-branded $338 million India IPO was fully subscribed.
