Demian Pouzo is a Professor of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley. Raised in
Argentina, he received his PhD in Economics from New York University in 2009 and he has been at UC
Berkeley ever since.
His academic research bridges rigorous statistical thinking with economic applications. His work focuses
on how decision makers can combine data, models, and expert knowledge to make better decisions in
complex and uncertain environments.
In executive education, Professor Pouzo teaches leaders how to think systematically about data, analytics, and artificial intelligence. His programs emphasize how modern tools --- from advanced analytics to
AI-assisted decision systems --- can support better strategic choices while preserving critical human
judgment.
His approach focuses not only on the technology itself, but on how leaders can build organizations that
effectively integrate AI into their decision processes and combine data, models, and human expertise to
navigate uncertainty.
