As head of Ecolab, a St. Paul-based global giant in water, hygiene, and infection prevention solutions, Beck brought a practitioner\u2019s lens to the discussion, sharing how the company is viewing and engaging with AI to improve Ecolab\u2019s performance. Christophe also discussed the deep commitment Ecolab has in the state and in the local economy and well-being of Ecolab\u2019s neighbors. Just that morning, at a separate event, Christophe and the Ecolab Foundation announced a collaborative investment to increase safe, stable, and affordable housing.&amp;nbsp; Christophe Beck believes in \u201cgrowing the pie\u201d&amp;nbsp; rather than taking the existing pie and trying to share more. Beck is an inspirational and energetic force.
