Lévy joined WeWork in November following the departure of CMO Robin Daniels. The announcement came the day after the real estate company laid off 19% of its staff —just the latest blow in a long line of difficulties for WeWork.

The company was bailed out by SoftBank after a botched IPO in September, and former CEO Adam Neumann stepped aside.
