TOKYO -- WeWork, a New York-based provider of shared office space services, has never met a cultural barrier it hasn't overcome, said co-founder Miguel McKelvey. He said Japan will be no exception and expressed confidence that his company will grow quickly in its newest market.
WeWork designs, develops and maintains office spaces with the aim of encouraging interaction and creativity among the people who work in them. Its "co-working" service was originally intended for entrepreneurs and startups, but Chris Hill, who will head WeWork's Japan operations, said large corporations are increasingly asking the seven-year-old company to help them reinvigorate their organizations.
