On this week’s episode of Fortune‘s Leadership Next podcast, co-hosts Alan Murray and Ellen McGirt talk with Kickstarter CEO Everette Taylor. They discuss the lack of Black leadership in the C-suites of most technology companies, as well as what Taylor wants for Kickstarter's future (hint: more inclusion and huge growth). Taylor also shares his view that tech platforms must take responsibility for the kinds of projects they help send into the world.
"I think A.I. technology can be really beautiful or really special if utilized in the right way. You know?" says Taylor, who assumed his CEO role in October 2022. "The same way a butter knife can be great, and if it's used the wrong way, can be pretty scary."
