01 · The profile

Background & perspective

Dan Hill states that he co-founded Crashpadder in London in 2007 and joined Airbnb when the company acquired the platform in late 2011. His personal website describes a progression from site reliability engineering into leadership across product teams including traveler experience, growth, payments, risk, trust and safety.^1,2

In a talk published by Twilio in 2016, he presents trust as an operational system. His framework separates incident prevention and risk management from product tools that help users align expectations. The talk documents Airbnb’s practices and terminology at that time, not necessarily the company’s current organization.³
