Nathan Blecharczyk
CTO & Co-Founder, Airbnb
Nathan is the technical architect behind Airbnb. A pragmatist who translates vision and design into tangible product through fast iterations, Nathan uses data to identify and pursue high-growth opportunities. Under his leadership, the engineering team has developed a robust, secure marketplace which now facilitates a massive amount of commerce each day.
Nathan got an early start in business and technology when he founded an online marketing company while still in high school. Since then he has worked as a program manager at Microsoft, engineer at OPNET Technologies, and lead developer at Batiq. He graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Harvard University.
When taking a break from coding, Nathan looks forward to the outdoor adventure of this listing in Hawaii near the Volcano National Park. A true technologist, he one day hopes to see Bill Gates's home featured on the pages of Airbnb.
