Exploring the Journey of Trusting Your Inner Voice
Trusting one's inner voice is a journey that requires attention and practice, as highlighted by Charlotte's path over a decade in her career. She emphasizes the importance of listening to and progressively understanding one's inner voice. Transitioning from consulting to tech and AI, Charlotte honed her skills at BCG, eventually founding CO2AI to address sustainability challenges.
Revolutionizing Sustainability Through AI at CO2AI
CO2AI addresses two critical issues in sustainability - the lack of comprehensive emissions measurement and meeting sustainability targets. By utilizing AI, CO2AI helps organizations automate emissions measurement accurately and identifies areas for reducing emissions effectively. This approach aims to enhance sustainability strategies for companies.
Embracing Risk and Empowering Decision-Making
Charlotte's entrepreneurial journey involved embracing risk and questioning the traditional notions of failure. She encourages individuals to project themselves into the future to assess the potential outcomes of their decisions. By following one's heart and acknowledging fears, individuals can navigate risks, make informed choices, and pursue meaningful endeavors.
Sometimes we doubt ourselves, and forget to trust what our inner voice is telling us. Charlotte Degot wishes she had begun listening to hers earlier in her career, but believes the journey to this understanding takes time. Charlotte is the CEO and founder of CO2 AI, an AI platform that helps the world's largest organizations successfully manage their end-to-end net-zero journeys.
She started her career at BCG and rose to the level of managing director. When she discovered the boundless application of AI, she decided to return to university to learn more about it. That's when CO2 AI was born. It was a significant risk, but she knew it was worth taking. Charlotte invites us to ask the question - “what is risk really?” How can accepting risk help us grow and expand, and what are the actual consequences of failure? Charlotte also lectures at the same institutions where she studied, providing a new generation of entrepreneurs with the knowledge they need to thrive.
