Embattled office-sharing company WeWork is looking for a new CEO, and a new report points to one possibility: T-Mobile CEO John Legere.
The company is reportedly in talks with Legere, though it's unclear how far those talks have gone or if T-Mobile's CEO would accept the position, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. Representatives for WeWork and T-Mobile didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
WeWork has been in trouble for weeks following a disastrous attempted IPO.
