Rachel is an award-winning entrepreneur with a finance background. In 2009, she co-founded BIME Analytics, a pioneering SaaS business intelligence company, which was later acquired by the American tech company Zendesk six years later. Rachel served as the CEO until she decided to leverage her experience to address current climate challenges and work towards ecological transition.

In 2020, she launched Sweep, the leading platform for carbon emissions monitoring and reduction. The mission-driven company, a certified B Corp, raised $100 million from high-profile investors such as Coatue, Balderton, and 2050. Rachel was elected co-chair of France Digitale in 2018 and supports several American and French startups founded by women.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of integrating the environmental impact of businesses into their decisions and the need for effective collection and management of non-financial data. We also highlight the importance of tech companies being open to environmental issues and adopting a global approach to reduce environmental footprint. We emphasize Sweep’s ability to provide a detailed view of emissions and the importance of technology in organizing and analyzing data accurately. Finally, we talk about the challenges related to carbon sequestration and the need to simultaneously reduce emissions and support carbon absorption and sequestration projects.
