How does a trained chemist transition into an investment banker, a senior British diplomat in Beijing, and ultimately, the CEO overseeing the world’s most critical environmental disclosure platform? In this episode Rafi sits down with Sherry Madera, CEO of CDP, to map out her curiosity-led career and explore how data has become the ultimate force for global change. From navigating the thick PM 2.5 smog of Beijing to steering massive data strategies at the London Stock Exchange Group, Sherry has spent her life translating complex risks into actionable boardroom intelligence. Rafi and Sherry dive deep into the mechanics of CDP—an independent platform capturing environmental data from over 24,000 companies representing two-thirds of the world’s market capitalization. Sherry breaks down the core business realities of sustainability, the expansion of disclosure beyond carbon, and why the ultimate test for modern corporations is moving from simple correlation to hard economic causation.
