About Matt Putkoski

I build programs that scale sustainability impact through data, partnerships, and technology.At Amazon, I lead the Amazon Sustainability Data Initiative (ASDI)—a global program democratizing access to hundreds of AI-ready datasets for climate and social impact research. My focus is enabling innovation: reducing the time, cost, and complexity of using high-value sustainability data to drive actionable insights.Over the past eight years, I’ve also scaled human rights and other ESG programs, leading cross-functional teams across compliance, supply chain transparency, and regulatory readiness. I’m passionate about open data ecosystems, AI for Good, and partnerships that bridge the gap between corporate resources and the research and innovation community.I thrive in roles that connect science, policy, data, and technology, and I’m particularly energized by organizations advancing climate, human rights, and sustainability innovation at scale.
