This podcast features an interview where Dr Christine Van Toorn, Director of IS Co-op Programs and Senior Lecturer at UNSW Business School, sits down with David Solsky, CEO of Envizi and VP of Sustainability Solutions at IBM, and Mikayla McEwan, a talented Product Specialist at WiseTech Global and recent first-class Honours graduate from UNSW. Together they discuss the journey of Envizi, a Sydney-based software provider helping organisations understand their carbon footprint and sustainability performance, which was acquired by IBM last year.

David Solsky also shares his insights on leadership, innovation, and the significance of collaborations between industry and academia, especially in driving students towards rewarding careers in technology and sustainability. The trio also delves into their collaborative research project with UNSW Business School's Dr Yunfei Shi, exploring how business analytics can pave the way for short- and long-term environmental sustainability.
