Yesterday's webinar was the perfect ending to my 5-year run at Airbnb. Today is my last day. I'm grateful to coworkers who have taught me so much, pushed and provoked, and joined me in admiring hosts. It's been an incredibly rewarding journey. Happily, I've done this once before, so I know I get to keep my Airbnb friends after departing. I'll share more about my next adventure soon!

Congrats Vanessa! Can't wait to hear about what's next. I recently ran across your book of poetry, looks beautiful.

incredible run Vanessa - you have done so much for hosts to both understand their business and succeed on the Airbnb platform. Hope you continue to bring the same amazing empathy for the hosts, creators, and communities in your next endeavor!

Nooooo, I just boomeranged back a week ago and last time I joined in 2016, you were just leaving from your first run (we're both boomerangs who keep missing each other!) Sad about this, but I wish you well and can't wait to see what you're up to next! ❤️

Congrats my friend! Airbnb and hosts all around the world are better because of the work you’ve done — on both tours of duty. You’re one of kind Vanessa!

You absolutely killed it. And you’ll be so missed. But, here’s to embracing the adventure. Thank you for leaving the team so much better than you found it 🫶🏽
