WeWork co-founder Adam Neumann is stepping down as CEO as the beleaguered co-working space business seeks to regain its footing after last weeks botched initial public offering, the company said Tuesday.

The news was first reported by The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal , which spoke to insiders familiar with the shakeup at the global shared office space company.

Neumann will become the nonexecutive chairman of We Co., WeWorks parent. Vice chairman Sebastian Gunningham and president and chief operating officer Artie Minson will take over as interim co-CEOs. The changes are effective immediately, the company said.

WeWork board members and investors have pressured Neumann to resign in recent days after We Co. postponed last weeks share sale. The failure of the IPO came after Wes value dropped from a reported $47 billion in January to as low as $15 billion .

Under Neumann, WeWork has burned through cash without a clear plan to become profitable. He maintained inordinate control of the company through a multiclass stock structure, spooking potential investors already wary of putting their money into the hands of an at times unpredictable leader.

Neumanns impulsive decision-making included a headline-making ban on the company paying for or serving meat at company events, leaving other executives scrambling for an explanation.

WeWorks turmoil echoes the startup strife at ride-hailing company Uber , whose CEO Travis Kalanick had to step down before investors were confident in the companys ability to sell stock.
