speak on a business leader who has set great examples and inspiring generations to address
business ideas in their own innovative ways.
The leader I have chosen for my presentation is Brian Chesky, who is the co-founder and CEO of
AirBnB and set great examples for entrepreneurs his followers alike. He is one the greatest
influences in the industry as he has taken the company to great heights with his business
perceptions.
Slide 1:

which has been a great success and changed the course of lodging and hotel industry. Brian
Chesky is the co-founder and CEO of AirBnB. AirBmB is a company which operates online and
offers its clients peer to peer lodging services (Airbnb.com.au 2020). It is fascinating how the
company has employed unconventional strategies to offer tourism and home stay services
without owning any estates or events. AirBnB operates as the mediator to arrange the facilities
and thus, receive commissions on the same.
The company is America based. It is interesting how the founding members of the
company conjectured the idea of setting up the business which has been a phenomenal success.
Joe Gebbia and Chesky, first had the idea in 2007 when they bought three mattresses for their
apartment while there was a shortage of hotels during the Industrial Designer Society America
had a convention scheduled in San Francisco. They changed their apartment entirely and gave
them out on rent for $80 per night. This is how the idea was conjectured by the entrepreneurs and
