Sam Sneddon is an experienced entrepreneur and sustainability leader, and CEO of WollemAI, the first AI and machine learning solution that measures and reports on emissions from land and agriculture including emissions from land use change.
Agriculture is an essential sector in the push to reach emissions reductions targets, but accurate, consistent measurement of emissions from land and agriculture at scale remains difficult. WollemAI is a software as a service (SaaS) solution that allows real-time, verifiable analysis of any investment or loan exposure to land or agriculture. Integrating public and private data sets, WollemAI applies its proprietary emissions factors to deliver accurate and actionable audit grade emissions and physical risk metrics at a hyper local level. Where customer data has gaps, machine learning and AI are applied to fill those gaps with predictive modelling, and results are updated automatically in real time as data changes.
Sam sees the Catalyst program as an opportunity to accelerate WollemAI’s commercialisation objectives, including ambitions to expand into the United States and Brazil via its beef cattle methodology. Through the Catalyst Program, she is excited to learn professionally and personally from individuals who have experienced the trials and tribulations of building, growing, and taking an idea or business global.
