How can business leaders turn the growing volume of data, analytics, and AI capabilities into better decisions and measurable business impact?

Join us for a conversation with Gurbir Perhar, Senior Vice President of Compass Data and AI at Compass Group North America, to explore how a global organization is using data, AI, and automation to improve operations, reduce waste, and advance sustainability. Gurbir will share perspectives on moving beyond dashboards and reporting to using data as a strategic tool for decision-making at scale.

The discussion will also explore Compass’ approach to food waste and sustainability across its 40 operating companies and approximately 30 countries, including its ongoing engagement with ReFED. Through real-world case studies, including examples related to data center buildouts and food sustainability, Gurbir will highlight how organizations can apply technology and analytics to complex operational and environmental challenges.

With a background spanning computational ecology, sports analytics, environmental engineering consulting, and enterprise data and AI, Gurbir brings a diverse perspective to the intersection of technology, business strategy, and sustainability.
