Matthew Pine, CEO of Xylem, discussed the company's use of artificial intelligence and its role in water treatment during a February 2026 appearance on Barron's podcast. He described water as an underappreciated resource and said the industry faces challenges from extreme weather, underinvestment in infrastructure, and contaminants such as forever chemicals. Pine also discussed Xylem's digital platform, which he compared to an "Amazon Alexa" for utilities, and said the company is working to make it easier for customers to do business with it. In a July 2025 interview on The Failure Gap podcast, Pine discussed leadership and organizational transformation at Xylem. He described a "high impact culture" focused on innovation, empowerment, and accountability, and said the company conducts semi-annual surveys of its top 150 leaders to assess alignment with those behaviors. Pine said he spends 50% of his time on talent development and has launched a leadership accelerator program for senior staff. He also said that while most of the organization agrees with the need for change, "blockers" can emerge when changes affect individuals directly.
