The Hidden Cost of Heat, with Anna Albright
In this episode, Christian Harris speaks with Anna Albright, founder of Klima, about the true cost of heat on worker safety and productivity. Anna shares the story of a delayed flight that revealed ground crews, not aircraft systems, were being grounded by extreme heat, and how that realisation led her to leave a career at J.P. Morgan and BCG to build a wearable cooling device for industrial workers.
They discuss why global heat related productivity losses are estimated in the trillions, why current cooling solutions on the market fall short, and why Anna believes heat safety needs to be framed around return on investment rather than treated as a cost centre.
