Robert Chesnut Biography

Rob Chesnut is a general counsel, trust and safety pioneer, prosecutor, author and keynote speaker on the subject of growing business through a focus on integrity. He is an advisor to Airbnb, along with several other internet marketplace startup businesses, including Uber, Upwork, Turo, and Poshmark. He is the former Chief Ethics Officer at Airbnb, a role he took on after nearly four years as the company’s General Counsel.

During his time at Airbnb, Chestnut developed a popular interactive employee program, Integrity Belongs Here, to help drive ethics throughout the culture at the company. His book, “Intentional Integrity: How Smart Companies Can Lead an Ethical Revolution,” argues that companies who do not think seriously about a critical element of corporate culture -- integrity -- are destined to fail.

Chestnut previously led eBay’s North America legal team, where he founded the Internet’s first e-commerce person-to-person platform Trust and Safety team. Previously, he was also the general counsel at Chegg, Inc., and he served 14 years with the U.S. Justice Department as a federal prosecutor, where he ran the Major Crimes unit. He is the recipient of the Justice Department’s John Marshall Award for litigation, and the CIA’s Outstanding Service Medallion.

Chestnut is a graduate of Harvard Law School and the University of Virginia.
