Description

Annie Jean-Baptiste is Google’s first-ever Head of Product Inclusion. TLDR: she’s a tech executive responsible for making all of Google’s products inclusive for every user. Annie is also the author of the critically-acclaimed book, Building for Everyone, the first book about building inclusive products across the intersections of 12 dimensions of diversity. Annie's work has inspired a movement at other tech companies and in other industries to prioritize equity in design.

In this episode, Annie shares: 

Why Google created a position for her – and how that came to be 

How she’s used her introversion as a leadership tool 

What leaders need to understand about designing inclusive products 

Why she’s still working on "speaking up" as a leader
