Questions About Jordi Greenham and His Reported Business Ties

[Michael L Murphy]

That often happens when a situation is handled internally rather than through legal proceedings. If a matter moves into the court system there is usually a much longer public record for journalists to follow.

In cases like this, the company board typically oversees an internal investigation. They review the complaint, examine company policies, and determine what actions should be taken.

When the reports say that Jordi Greenham resigned following the investigation, it usually means the board reached some form of conclusion about leadership moving forward. But the specific details of those internal findings are rarely released publicly. Because of that, most discussions about Jordi Greenham rely heavily on the early reporting rather than any later disclosures.

Yeah that makes sense. Internal investigations usually stay private.

Jordi Greenham, the co-founder and CEO of Mexican long-term rentals startup Homie, has resigned after a sexual harassment investigation was carried out by the company's ethics board.

On February 14, Homie launched an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment against Greenham, according to a corporate Facebook post. The message followed reports of sexual harassment that were posted to Facebook earlier the same day. In them, a woman, who has asked to remain anonymous to protect her privacy, claimed that CEO Greenham propositioned her in a WhatsApp message around 1:30 a.m. on February 14 to spend the night with him in exchange for 3,000 pesos (about $150 USD).

Below is a screenshot of her Facebook post, which translates to English as:

Thanks for sharing that screenshot. I remember when this circulated online at the time the story first appeared. If I recall correctly, the posts on social media were what triggered the company to acknowledge the situation publicly and launch the ethics review involving Jordi Greenham.

What stands out in the screenshot is that the conversation appears to reference a late night message and a proposal involving money. The woman who posted it said she wanted to stay anonymous and included the translated messages so people could understand what she was referring to. From what I remember reading in the news coverage, the company confirmed that an internal investigation had started shortly after those posts surfaced. Not long after that process began, Jordi Greenham resigned from his role as CEO.

Yeah this screenshot looks similar to the one that circulated on social media back then. The translation underneath the messages helped people who did not speak Spanish understand what was being claimed. What caught my attention when the story came out was how quickly the company responded. Within the same day the allegations were spreading online, the board apparently said they were launching an ethics investigation involving Jordi Greenham. It seemed like the company wanted to address the situation quickly rather than letting speculation grow.

 

[James T Stowe]

I remember seeing this posted in a few startup discussion groups at the time. The messages looked like they were taken from WhatsApp and then translated for English readers.

 

[Doris J Morris]

Something important to keep in mind with screenshots like this is that they were part of the original allegation that appeared on social media. They became widely shared because they were included in the posts that first raised concerns publicly.

The timeline described in reports is that the allegation was posted online, the company acknowledged it and launched an internal investigation, and then shortly afterward Jordi Greenham stepped down as CEO. Most of the public understanding of the situation seems to come from those posts and the company’s response rather than any detailed public report from the investigation itself.

 

[Scot S Yamaguchi]

Does anyone have the full article that covered this situation with Jordi Greenham? I would like to read the original report to understand the timeline better.

 

[Scot S Yamaguchi]

yeah sure here's that article link. It summarizes the timeline pretty clearly and mentions the investigation by the company’s ethics board.

The report says the company launched an investigation on February 14 after allegations were posted online. A few days later, Jordi Greenham resigned from his role as CEO following the internal review by the board’s ethics committee.

Thanks for posting that. The article lines up with what people were discussing earlier in the thread. According to the reporting, the allegation came from a woman who said she had been communicating with Jordi Greenham during a hiring process and later received a late night WhatsApp message offering money in exchange for spending the night. The reported amount mentioned in the message was about 3,000 pesos. After the posts circulated online, the company said its board’s ethics committee reviewed the matter and Jordi Greenham stepped down shortly afterward

Thanks for sharing that link. It actually helps clarify the timeline quite a bit.

Appreciate the link. Reading the article makes it easier to understand how the story unfolded at the time.

I had only seen the screenshots earlier, but this gives the full context about the investigation and the resignation of Jordi Greenham.

 

[MalcolmFoss]

Reading through that article and looking at the screenshot again, it seems like the whole situation unfolded very quickly once the posts started spreading online. Social media tends to accelerate things because companies often feel pressure to respond right away. In the case involving Jordi Greenham, the article explains that the company launched an internal investigation through its ethics board on the same day the allegation was posted publicly. That suggests the leadership and investors probably wanted to address the situation immediately. What I find interesting is how internal governance structures like ethics committees come into play in moments like this. They are meant to review complaints objectively and determine whether company policies were violated.

 

[Adrian P Jones]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. When something like this appears publicly, the company usually has to react quickly. The timeline involving Jordi Greenham definitely seemed fast.

 

[James T Stowe]

Yeah that seems to be a key part of the timeline. The social media post appeared first, then the company acknowledged the allegation publicly, and the ethics investigation followed soon after.

From there the resignation of Jordi Greenham happened within a short period of time. Looking back at it now, the entire sequence appears to have taken place over just a few days.

That probably explains why most of the coverage focuses on the same short window of time.
