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!
So incredibly excited for you Vanessa, but more importantly grateful for the role you played during my time at Airbnb. Happy knowing I will always have my brilliant, hilarious, kind friend no matter where we are 😊
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! ❤️
Thanks for being an amazing colleague, leader, partner, and friend. We are all smarter and more empathetic because of you. Thanks for all you do to advocate for your colleagues and most importantly our hosts. We will miss you so much and cheering you on for your next adventure ❤️
Congrats VHS! You have made a real impact and I hope I stay on the friends list!
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 🫶🏽
You will be missed my friend. But I know you will do exciting, stimulating things moving on and I can’t wait to get to follow your impact!
We will miss you VHS!!! Selfishly holding out hope for round 3 but also look forward to seeing you take on your next adventure! Thank you for everything you have brought to our lil Airbnb community ❤️

2moCongrats Vanessa! Can't wait to hear about what's next. I recently ran across your book of poetry, looks beautiful.
