Our Story: Brogan Search Partners & WeWork

Our first offices we in the original WeWork. We began helping WeWork scale just after their Series A led by Sequoia. One of their searches was being led by a global search firm and had remained open for almost a year.

Despite having already paid one firm, we were engaged by the CEO to correct the failed search and deliver a major win with a Chief People Officer who had previous experience building both Google and Facebook to scale.

This was a major milestone for WeWork and we would go on to lead around a dozen searches across Product, Engineering, and Operations including the CWeO of India, which would prove to be the best business unit of WeWork and ultimately treated as a separate company before WeWork made headlines as a Decacorn that burned too bright.

We are proud to have been a pivotal partner during the best years of WeWork and placing some of the most successful and longest tenured people in the company.

Position: Chief People Officer

Challenge

WeWork was facing a critical challenge with a leadership search that had remained open for nearly a year despite the involvement of a global search firm. At a pivotal stage following their Series A, led by Sequoia Capital, WeWork urgently needed a proven leader to scale the company’s operations.

Solution

Brogan Search Partners was engaged directly by the CEO to correct the failed search. We identified and placed a Chief People Officer with a track record of scaling global giants like Google and Facebook.

Result

The placement accelerated WeWork’s growth and success. Brogan Search Partners went on to lead over a dozen critical searches, including the Chief WeWork Executive of India, WeWork’s top-performing business unit. We are proud to have placed some of the company’s most impactful and longest-tenured leaders.
