Investing.com—Airbnb (NASDAQ:ABNB) has appointed former Uber (NYSE:UBER) executive Gus Fuldner as its new Global Head of Operations. According to Bloomberg, CEO Brian Chesky announced the appointment in an email to employees on Tuesday.

Fuldner left Uber earlier this year after more than ten years with the company and will join Airbnb on March 16. He will succeed Tara Bunch, who has decided to retire after six years at the company. Bloomberg cited a company spokesperson saying that Bunch previously worked at Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). She will stay on as a consultant until June to assist with the transition.

Chesky stated in the memo that he and Bunch had discussed this transition for some time. He noted that although there is no fixed timeline, they both agree that when the right leader is found, they will be ready to move forward.

This appointment is the latest senior leadership hire by Chesky this year as he works to expand the company’s business beyond its core lodging services. In January, Airbnb appointed former Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) executive Ahmad Al-Dahle as its new Chief Technology Officer. This move highlights the company’s plans to integrate more artificial intelligence features into its app.

At Uber, Fuldner most recently served as Senior Vice President of Core Services. In this role, he oversaw teams responsible for safety, support, payments, insurance, and identity verification.
