Brian Chesky, Co-Founder and CEO of Airbnb: Designing a 10-star Experience

When war and wildfires move people, Brian Chesky’ s platform moves beds. Airbnb. org, the nonprofit spun from the company’ s crisis-housing experiments, has placed refugees and disaster survivors in free temporary homes worldwide, including more than 100,000 people fleeing Ukraine. Brian treats it as a core product, not a charity annexe, the same booking engine pointed at emergencies, which is precisely the kind of infrastructure thinking this list rewards.
