Front & Center Podcast: Episode 80 – Beyond AI Deployment: Differentiating through Data and Context

May 2026

Earlier this month, CenterSquare welcomed Doug Carpenter to the team in the newly created role of Director, Head of Data Strategy and AI. On this episode of Front & Center, Doug joins Senior Investment Strategist and Global Head of Sustainability Uma Moriarity to talk all things data and AI. This wide-ranging conversation covers the importance of data and context as differentiators in a world in which implementing AI on its own has become table stakes, and imagines the future of real estate investing for companies that can effectively harness the power of data and AI today.
