Markus Vitulli is the execution engine behind some of the world’s fastest-growing marketplaces. He joined Airbnb when the company was still crammed into a single San Francisco loft and spent the next ten years designing the playbooks that took it from 100 employees to a public company approaching a $100 billion market cap. His remit spanned host acquisition, trust-and-safety operations, and the data-driven pricing systems that underpin Airbnb’s global liquidity—experience that hard-wired him to spot bottlenecks early and scale infrastructure before it creaks. After Airbnb, Markus became the go-to operator for venture and growth investors, shaping marketplace strategy at WestCap and hands-on steering Swimply and Marketplace Dynamics through periods of explosive expansion. The common thread: he builds flywheels—systems where supply, demand, and unit economics reinforce one another instead of grinding gears. Now, as Bloom’s COO, Markus is translating that digital-marketplace muscle into the physical world of manufacturing and logistics. He is architecting the operational backbone that lets hardware brands tap Bloom’s network of factories, shippers, and service partners without losing sleep over lead times or working-capital burn. His mandate is clear: turn Bloom’s marketplace into a self-sustaining engine that compounds value for every participant and scales as reliably as the software platforms that changed how we travel—and soon, how we build.
