Kim Kingsley checks in to Airbnb

Kim Kingsley, one of our co-creators at Politico, joins Airbnb in San Francisco as director of global communications on June 5, reporting to Chris Lehane, global head of policy and communications. Co-founder/CEO Brian Chesky says: "[N]o one knows how to navigate and shape [the] new landscape better than Kim."

What we're hearing: Kingsley writes her friends: "Be it Scranton or South Africa, my destiny, my heart were shaped by places and people — and now I get to help bring that beauty and bounty to a global community. Looking forward to filling you in on my adventure and hoping you’ll travel along with me on this amazing Airbnb journey. #belonganywhere.”
