Climate Policy, AI, and ROI: Why the Market Demands Business Intelligence, Not Just Education

On today's podcast Georgie Steele (CTO and Co-founder of Maven) discusses turning complex climate policy into actionable business intelligence.

She reveals how Maiven navigates resistence/indifference towards sustainability by focusing on commercial ROI and adapting to shifting local regulations. Georgie also shares insights on fostering an 'AI-first' culture, enabling non-technical teams with "vibe coding", and addresses the critical need for senior engineers to oversee emerging AI tools, which often act like "eager juniors".
