Listen Later

In this episode of SAP Let's Talk Data Podcast, host Corrie Birkenes is joined by Ridwan Bhuiyan, Vice President of Digital Products at Chubb, and Tina Rosario, Chief Data Officer at SAP, for an insightful conversation on how data is transforming sustainability, resilience, and business decision-making.  

Ridwan shares his unique journey from environmental science to leading digital transformation initiatives, explaining how data quality, governance, and collaboration became the foundation for solving complex business challenges. Together, he and Tina explore why successful sustainability programs depend on trusted, high-quality data rather than technology alone. They discuss breaking down organizational silos, treating data as a strategic product, and creating modern data foundations that empower better decisions across the enterprise. 

The conversation also highlights the growing importance of geospatial analytics, external data integration, and cross-functional collaboration to measure environmental impact and climate resilience. Finally, they examine the opportunities - and responsibilities - that come with AI, emphasizing the need to balance innovation with sustainable resource consumption and long-term thinking. 

Whether you're a data leader, sustainability professional, or executive looking to build a more resilient organization, this episode offers practical insights into using data to drive meaningful business outcomes while preparing for the challenges of tomorrow.

  3. The power of modern data platforms and data products to break sustainability out of the "ivory tower" report
  4. Geospatial analytics as a storytelling tool for climate resilience and vulnerability assessment
