In the latest interview in our series highlighting the fight for gender equality, Maria Cuba, Senior Diversity and Belonging Business Partner at Worldwide Olympic Partner Airbnb, talks about the company’s ongoing initiatives to nurture female talent and enable women to move into senior roles.
Born in Puerto Rico, where she graduated in political science, Cuba is one of Airbnb’s earliest employees and the founder of Airbnb Latino Employee Resource Group “Juntos”.
Her sensitivity towards diversity and inclusion matters led her to the role of Global Diversity Lead. In 2019, she was promoted to Senior Diversity and Belonging Business Partner for Airbnb’s Experiences division. Her brief is to spearhead the drive to build a more diverse and inclusive workplace at the San Francisco-based business.
