“When I first got to Airbnb, the marketing leadership team need a lot of help in terms of collective understanding of each other, psychological safety, vision and purpose.
Julia worked with me to develop a robust and effective leadership team development program. She led the design of the program and co-facilitated all of my offsites. In a few short months I’m proud to say that the marketing leadership team at Airbnb became one of the most respected in Silicon Valley. Thanks in a huge part to Julia.”
