About Us

Cloud Cover Insights was created to address the increasing need to establish a common language between finance, facilities, and sustainability teams. Finance holds the budget and has traditionally viewed insurance costs as fixed and climate risk as something to deal with when it comes. Facilities teams see the need to harden buildings and infrastructure, but cannot prove the ROI to unlock the budget. Sustainability teams see the climate risk though don't have the authority to address it. With Cloud Cover Insights, these three teams can identify the risk, propose the mitigation strategy, and take the action necessary to reduce costs and protect operations now and in the future.
