Airbnb is singing Klain’s praises, calling him the “perfect addition” due to his extensive experience in Washington. They can’t stop raving about his time serving as Biden’s top aide and even as Vice President Al Gore’s chief of staff. Oh, and let’s not forget his stint as the “Ebola czar” under Obama. They just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to snatch up this big-shot, power player!
But wait, there’s more! Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky can hardly contain his excitement about bringing Klain on board. He’s gushing about Klain’s smarts, strategic thinking, and top-notch judgment. And get this – Klain is leaving his fancy law office gig at O’Melveny & Myers LLP to make the leap to Airbnb. Wow, talk about a career shake-up!
This move comes hot on the heels of Klain’s stint at the White House, where he had a front-row seat to all of Biden’s big wins and struggles. From the bipartisan infrastructure law to dealing with the bumpy Afghanistan withdrawal and COVID-19 chaos, Klain was right there in the thick of it. And now, he’s taking his talents to the world of vacation rentals. Who saw that coming?
But hey, don’t forget about Jay Carney, another Obama alum, who made the move to Airbnb last year. It seems like Airbnb is turning into the ultimate hot spot for former White House peeps. What’s next, a reality TV show featuring all these political bigwigs navigating the world of vacation rentals? Stay tuned, because with Klain on board, you never know what wild twists and turns are coming to Airbnb!
