From Airbnb Executive to High-Impact Philanthropy: Deep Dive with Andrea La Mesa

​What comes after a Silicon Valley exit? For Andrea La Mesa, the answer wasn't a quiet retirement, but a radical pivot toward global impact.

​After years as a key executive at Airbnb, where he led the expansion into Europe and served as GM of North America, Andrea reached a turning point.

​Guided by the philosophy of Effective Altruism, he decided to apply the same rigor he used in tech to solving the world’s most pressing problems. Today, Andrea has dedicated himself full-time to the field, leading the Peter Singer Foundation and serving as Chair of the CSP Board. In this Deep Dive Session, we look forward to learn from Andrea's evolution: from scaling tech giants to rethinking how we can use our resources and expertise to drive systemic global change.

​The Neues Geben Club is a safe space for donors and successors who view effective philanthropy as an entrepreneurial mission.

​The network was founded on the conviction that guidance does not come from external advice, but rather from unfiltered exchanges among like-minded individuals with diverse experiences and expertise.

​Based on confidential, authentic encounters, members of the Club Neues Geben find strategic and personal guidance for their own giving.

​Every third Thursday of the month, we start the day with special conversations in an intimate setting.
