Matt Anderson

Chief Digital Officer and Managing Director,
The Carlyle Group

SESAMm’s solution helps us to provide opinions on controversies affecting the companies we follow positively and negatively. Previously, it was only possible through human intervention, which meant a much more limited capacity and much higher cost than AI-powered tools, making it very difficult for our clients to access this information.

Working with SESAMm technology allows us to leverage their advanced solutions to enhance our ESG Scores and Ratings offering. By integrating SESAMm’s extensive data coverage, we can offer our clients more comprehensive ESG insights.
