Clean Data = Real AI & Green Impact | Daniel Cox III, Founder of Green Parrot Collective

AI, Data Governance, and Sustainability - How leaders turn information into insight, trust, and better decisions.

Most organizations are collecting more data than ever, yet many still struggle to turn it into insight, build trust, and use AI in a way that actually improves decision making. Clean, governed data is now the foundation for both effective AI adoption and credible ESG and sustainability programs.

In this episode of The Next Breakthrough with Sean Campbell, Sean speaks with Daniel Cox III, Global Data Strategist and CEO of Green Parrot Collective, about how data quality, governance, and transparency shape leadership decisions, AI outcomes, and sustainable business performance.

Topics covered in this conversation include:

• The difference between data and insight, and why reports without action create noise rather than value
• Why AI must be built on trusted, governed data to support executive judgment and strategic thinking
• How sustainability and ESG data can move from compliance to competitive advantage
• How Green Parrot uses ratings, traceability, and verification to bring transparency to the point of purchase
• Why leaders need AI as a “second brain” to sharpen decisions, not just automate tasks
• How boards and executives can reduce risk and greenwashing through decision-grade information

This episode is for founders, CEOs, board members, data leaders, and sustainability executives who want to understand how AI, data governance, and ESG come together to improve decision quality, reduce risk, and build long-term trust.
