Episode 77: Davida Herzl

Davida Herzl is co-founder and CEO of Aclima, where she leads a team pioneering a new way to diagnose the health of our air and track pollution. The company’s enterprise software, Aclima Pro translates billions of scientific measurements into analytics for companies, governments, and communities to reduce emissions and improve public health. 

Aclima has been driven by two questions: Where is pollution coming from and who is it impacting? This became a “deep tech challenge” and today the company operates the largest mobile sensor network on Earth, creating datasets of hyperlocal greenhouse gas levels and air pollution never before available. 

Davida is proud of the work that the Aclima team is doing. “Climate change is the most pressing issue of our time,” she says. “And there are so many intersecting problems -- environmental justice, infrastructure, and more. Our data is a critical part of the solution because transparency ensures accountability and also enables actors across society to take informed climate action.”
