“Equity is collective work, we will not make progress alone” – Oona King
In early October, Aspen Digital partnered with Uber to host a hands-on convening of the Product Equity Working Group at Uber’s offices in San Francisco. The Product Equity Offsite united over 60 top leaders in product equity from across tech and civil society to celebrate our progress and set new goals for collective action.
Since hosting the Product Equity Summit this past spring, the Working Group has made a number of breakthroughs in defining and advancing the field of product equity. This month’s follow-up gathering was a great opportunity to keep the momentum going with a combination of inspirational stories about product equity done right and roll-up-your-sleeves workshops.
“If you invest in them, they will invest back into you.” – Obinna Keke
The Product Equity Work Sessions kicked off with a heartfelt conversation between Obinna Keke, Head of Innovation at SheaMoisture, and Oona King, Chief Diversity Equity & Inclusion Officer at Uber, on what the tech industry can learn about inclusive product development from other sectors, namely beauty and grooming within consumer packaged goods.
