Ex-Housing CEO Jason Kothari in fray to lead WeWork

Former Housing.com CEO and board director at Emaar, Jason Kothari , is in reckoning for the top job at SoftBank-backed American office-sharing company WeWork, along with three others, said people familiar with the matter. Kothari, known for his ability to swiftly turn around ailing companies - most of them SoftBank-backed startups like Snapdeal and Housing.com - is the only Indian among the people, who are being considered for leading and stabilising WeWork, following the forced departure of its co-founder Adam Neumann. It has also been reported that John Legere, CEO of T-Mobile US is one of the candidates. Kothari did not respond to queries.
