Belinda Johnson

Airbnb sits squarely at the intersection of landlord-tenant law, one of the oldest and most established areas of law in any country, and legal tech, a source of much legal innovation and theory. Belinda, as Chief of Business Affairs and Legal Officer, has been at the heart of this innovation. From her early beginnings as an employment attorney with such illustrious firms as Johnson & Gibbs and Littler Mendelson, to her later work as General Counsel at Broadcast.com and Yahoo! Inc., Belinda has innovated by creating a legal infrastructure for dealing with complex legal issues that will serve as a model for future innovations across all business associations.
