Based on his bio [0], Khosrowshahi seems like a more apt CEO pick for Airbnb instead of Uber. Thus, I think that someone with a more extensive experience in the transportation industry such as Kathryn Marinello (CEO of The Hertz Corporation) [1] or David Abney (CEO of UPS) [2] is more suitable for the job.
