Airbnb CSO & Head of Trust Engineering & Data Science Vijaya Kaza: "There are no failures in life, only opportunities and experiences to learn from."

Vijaya Kaza is the Chief Security Officer and Head of Engineering & Data Science for Trust & Safety at Airbnb. She has an extraordinary record of technology leadership in building teams, guiding product development, and driving innovation in the field of security, machine learning, and AI. 

Her personal framework for scaling companies which she shares in our discussion comes from her years of experience doing exactly that at some of the biggest tech companies in the world. Make sure to follow Vijaya on LinkedIn to keep up with her insights. 

I also want to highlight the inspiring account she shares of how Airbnb and many of its users have rallied to support the Ukrainian people during the terrible conflict in Ukraine. Prior to 2022, Airbnb had already helped match over 100,000 people in crisis with housing and other types of support, and the work carries forward with massive contributions and housing programs to support affected Ukrainians.
