About this episode

Kevin Williams discusses building mission-driven digital products that prioritize impact over profit.

In this episode, Kevin Williams , Vice President of Digital Products at Planned Parenthood Federation of America , sits with us to share insights into building digital products that prioritize impact over profit. He discusses the challenges of scaling mission-driven teams, designing for accessibility and leveraging technology to serve diverse user needs. We discuss: - Technology expands access to sexual and reproductive health. - Mission-driven teams need both expertise and values alignment. - Designing for vulnerable users benefits everyone. - Innovation is about reducing friction and simplifying access. - Success is measured by impact, not revenue. - Trust comes from transparency and ethical data practices. Kevin says, “Innovation today is really about simplifying people’s lives. That’s where our team is right now because I think there’s a lot of chaos in digital, there’s a lot of noise in digital and some of that has come from innovation. So I think we need to dial it back a little bit and be innovative all around.” Resources Mentioned : Kevin Williams https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenya-kevin-williams/ Planned Parenthood Federation of America | LinkedIn…
