Leadership Award Recipient

Lucius DiPhillips, Airbnb

DiPhillips, Airbnb's CIO since 2020, has led the company through a period of unprecedented innovation, growth, and profitability. With a philosophy he calls "high-tech human touch," DiPhillips guided Airbnb’s business technology team to develop a platform that builds connection and belonging through technology. DiPhillips’ vision has been instrumental in shaping the team's initiatives, including propelling Airbnb to be an early adopter of AI, implementing next-generation backend systems and infrastructure, and moving physical data centers to the cloud. By doing so, he reduced costs while providing scalability, better security, and greater agility in responding to new business requirements and challenges. His demonstrated success over 20 years have earned him expanded responsibilities beyond core IT systems to include oversight of revenue-generating, customer-facing insurance platforms. Beyond his core responsibilities, DiPhillips leads the Airbnb Tech Diversity Council, a group of senior technical leaders at Airbnb tasked with amplifying and advocating for diversity-related projects and initiatives.
