• Airbnb is building the largest, most loved community of travelers and hosts in the world.
• I started the product growth team in 2012, which over the next five years grew to over 120 people while Airbnb grew 25x in annual bookings. The growth team eventually oversaw SEO, Virality, Performance Marketing, Referrals, Onboarding, Retention, Internationalization, Authentication, Email Engagement, and Mobile Growth. Nearly everything I know about growth I learned working for this team. It was the best time of my life.
