Claure: Son and Wework

claure: Claure will help WeWork's new leadership identify revenue and cost-saving opportunities, one of the sources said, according to The Japan Times. Representatives for WeWork, Soft Bank and Claure declined to comment. Masayoshi Son, the head of Soft Bank, WeWork's largest investor, has asked the former chief executive officer of Sprint Corp. to take a more hands-on role helping oversee a cleanup of the office rental company from his position at Soft Bank, according to sources familiar with the matter who asked to not be identified because the matter isn't public. ; No decision has been made on his exact role, the sources said. In Claure, Son would be tapping an executive with a track record of fixing companies and overseeing his firm's investments. Son tapped him in 2014 to run Sprint, which he helped turn around prior to the company's pending sale to rival T-Mobile U.S. Inc. The 48-year-old joined Soft Bank in 2013 when the Japanese firm bought Brightstar, a phone distribution company Claure ran. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
