Laura Chambers
CEO
About
Experienced CEO leading transformation and growth through product innovation, P&L management, creating engaged, resilient and high performing teams, and outstanding execution / operations. I am passionate about working on hard and interesting problems, and creating significant positive change for humans.
Most recently, I was the CEO of Willow Innovations Inc, who created the world's first wearable, quiet, in-bra pump for breastfeeding mothers. Willow's mission is to bring joy to motherhood!
Prior to Willow, I led the global Core Host division at Airbnb. In that role, I was responsible for ensuring that more hosts join the platform, are set up for success, and thrive as hosts. I also led our Community efforts - ensuring that hosts feel connected, educated and recognized for the great work they do.
Before Airbnb, I led eBay's North American consumer selling and transportation businesses. In this role I oversaw significant business turnaround, revamped the strategic approach, and launched innovative new products and experiences. Over 13 years, I worked at eBay Inc in multiple divisions (Marketplaces, PayPal, Skype, Corporate), multiple regions (APAC, NA, EU) and multiple functions (product, trust, regional business, sales & marketing, operations, customer support, strategy, HR).
Before joining eBay, I worked as a Business Analyst at McKinsey & Co. in Australia.
I have a MBA from Stanford University, and a dual bachelor's in Commerce and Arts from the University of Melbourne (Australia). I am also on the Board of Mozilla Corp.
I have 3 children, a dog, and an English husband (in no particular order). We are based in Silicon Valley, and deeply enjoy engaging with our community, and spending as much time as possible out on the water.
