Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
In what is widely considered not just one of the greatest Chinese movies, but one of THE greatest movies of all time, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, retired swordsman Li Mu Bai entrusts his prized sword Green Destiny to his close friend and warrior Yu Shu Lien. It won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and was nominated for 10 awards in total, including Best Picture.
GreenTally.ai = Green Destiny
In the crowded world of sustainable technologies jostling for position, GreenTally.ai is the tech equivalent of “Green Destiny”. By leveraging AI to automate carbon foot-printing, it is transforming carbon accounting from an exercise that normally takes months to one that takes hours. Upload any document (.csv file, AP Llst, Invoices, Boarding Passes, Utility Bills, travel tickets etc.) and GreenTally converts the unstructured data into structured data, assigning Scope, Category and carbon footprint to each item. In short, it needs to be seen to be believed.

The brains behind GreenTally are Chinese nationals CTO Yulong Liu and CEO Ning Na, who are taking the world of carbon accounting by storm. San Francisco-based Yulong, previously headed up Google’s autonomous driving division and has developed this ground-breaking technology. CEO Ning Na is a founder with an abundance of positive energy and ability to connect with people at all levels of an organisation.
Hidden Dragon
Having attended the ESG Summit in Croke Park at which Mark Kane was a featured speaker, Ning Na reached out to Mark regarding the GreenTally product. Mark was so impressed that he has become an advisor to GreenTally and Sustainabil-IT a shareholder in the GreenTally.ai business – in short, a dragon!.
Ning Na, CEO GreenTally.ai
“At the ESG Summit, I was very impressed by Mark’s thought leadership of the intersection of technology and sustainability and how he has established a “rebel alliance” of sustainable technologies. Since connecting, Mark has opened doors for us into his extensive network, to complementary technologies, grant-funding and is a great sounding-board for us with regards to direction.
Mark Kane, CEO Sustainabil-IT
As much as I was impressed with the GreenTally.ai solution, I was even more impressed with the energy, positivity and drive of Ning Na, who I describe as a force of nature. At our very first meeting, I told Ning that they have something special and that I wanted to help nurture its’ growth. It’s an enormous pleasure for me to partner with Ning, Yulong, Gabriel and the team, who are very receptive to new ideas and feedback from a dragon like myself who is long in the tooth!
