Interview: Bethanie Maples Krogstad, Quid
TriplePundit attended Sustainable Brands 2014 in San Diego this month. These videos are part of our coverage. Find the rest here.
At this year's Sustainable Brands conference I was invited to moderate a panel on big data and how it can be leveraged for sustainability. It's a wildly complicated subject, but companies like Quid are aiming to help us make sense of it all through clever visualization tools, advanced search engines, and other kinds of engagement. Prior to our panel, I caught up with Quid's Bethanie Maples Krogstad to learn about exactly what Quid does, and why visualizing big data is relevant to sustainability -- specifically the transportation industry.
