Airbnb co-founder and board member Joe Gebbia will become the federal government's Chief Design Officer, a new position.

(Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump will appoint Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia to spearhead the new National Design Studio that will seek to make digital services at federal agencies more efficient, two officials familiar with the plan said.

President Trump says legacy systems are expensive to maintain and hard to navigate – so launches America by Design initiative instead.
