BizBatch | The director of events at WeWork strives to foster community among company members and staff

As its director of events (at WeWorks), Karly Giaramita’s main goal is to encourage connection among company members and staff through memorable live experiences. Giaramita also makes sure that new events speak to the company’s ideology. As an alternative to the typical office holiday party, the company hosted its first “giving back” days in December, in which each WeWork location hosted a holiday-theme event for a local nonprofit. In New York, staff hosted New York Foundling foster children and their families for a day of gift- wrapping, arts and crafts, and a performance by a cappella group the Maccabeats.
