You wouldn’t be completely wrong to liken the story of the life and experiences of the CEO of Airbnb, Brian Chesky, to the proverbial tale of rising from grass to grace. He came from a humble background with both parents working as low salary earners, according to Brian, he was always broke and continued to lose weight even though he didn’t have a lot of weight to dispose of.
In October 2007, when San Francisco hosted the Industrial Designers Society of America, Brian, along with his co-founder Gebbia purchased air bed for their apartment and rented it out when there was no accommodation to be found with all the hotel rooms fully booked. With so much debt and rising rent staring them in the face, the duo actually resorted to selling 40-a-box Obama & McCain-themed breakfast cereal at the Democratic Convention of 2008 just to survive.
Today, Brian Chesky is the acclaimed chief executive officer and co-founder of Airbnb, the world-renowned rental services company which has accommodated over 300 million guests in the past and currently valued at $30 billion. The famed home-sharing platform welcomed over 2 million guests during the last New Year’s Eve and has continued to thrive even in the off seasons.
As the CEO of Airbnb, Brian has led the company to new and greater heights with successful expansions into events and other services which may be added in the nearest future.
