Airbnb COO, Belinda Johnson: How to take risks in your career No Limits with Rebecca Jarvis

    • Careers

Belinda Johnson had her career set as a lawyer until she pitched herself to Mark Cuban to join his new web company Broadcast.com in 1996. When the company sold to Yahoo she stayed on for 12 years, with 10 of those spent as Deputy General Counsel. She joined Airbnb in 2011 as General Counsel and was named the company's first ever COO earlier this year. In her first podcast interview ever, Belinda opens up about her career turning point and pitching herself to Mark Cuban, why she decided to leave Yahoo, the moment she realized she wanted to work for Airbnb, and what she believes is the best way to ask for help.
