Founded in 2020, Sweep assists businesses in tracking and managing their carbon emissions, and fostering their transformation into sustainable, enduring enterprises. The Paris-based company has already raised about $100 million, and the list of investors also includes iPod inventor Tony Fadell.
Its data-driven platform boasts powerful collaboration tools and a user-focused design, streamlining the process of measuring emissions, implementing reduction strategies, and ensuring compliance with current reporting standards. By empowering staff and the entire value chain, Sweep promotes the collective action necessary for effective carbon reduction.
Rachel’s expertise in creating and scaling business intelligence solutions is evident in her leadership at Sweep. With a deep understanding of the complexities of carbon management, she has successfully positioned Sweep at the forefront of environmental sustainability tech. Her previous achievements include the co-founding of BIME Analytics, a pioneering business intelligence service that Zendesk acquired.
