Airbnb COO Belinda Johnson is stepping down. Here’s what this big loss will mean for the company ahead of its expected public debut in 2020.

COO who works closely with CEO Mark Zuckerberg. She was Airbnb CEO and co-founder Brian Chesky's first executive hire."Growing up, I just assumed that when people don't like you, you should avoid them. Belinda taught me better. She told me that we should meet the people that don't like us. As she said, 'It's hard to hate up close,'" Chesky said in a statement.

"Once Belinda transitions out of her role as COO, she will join our Board of Directors. Though we intend for her to serve on our board for a long time to come, I have told Belinda that she can return to Airbnb as an executive if she ever wishes to do so," Chesky said in his statement. Johnson's email to staff touches on the challenge that many working parents face. She wrote that her job often consumed too much of her time and caused her to miss out on key moments with her children.

But she also wrote that all-consuming work had a downside when it came to her family. She tells a story in the letter about sitting recently with her daughter at the dinner table as she talked about college applications.
