ABOUT OUR MODERATOR



Gauthier Vasseur

Executive Director - Fisher Center for Business Analytics

Founder & Co-President - Alliance for Inclusive AI

Gauthier Vasseur began his career in audit, corporate finance, & treasury. But it was his passion for analytics that triggered a change of heart when, in the early 2000s, he realized that it was possible to work faster and, above all, more accurately using simple data techniques. He launched with the AFTE, the French Association of Corporate Treasurers, the development of courses & conferences on information systems in Finance. In 2004, he fully switched to the world of technology. He became product marketing director for performance management solutions at Hyperion in Silicon Valley, later acquired by Oracle. In 2007, he was appointed director of financial data management at Google. He then became vice-president of data solutions at TriNet, on the eve of its IPO & finally Chief Operating Officer of the US subsidiary of Semarchy before it was acquired by a private equity fund. The last turning point in his career began in 2008 with his first data courses at Stanford University. This is how he embarked on the path of an instructor career. In 2017, he founded Data Wise Academy, a boutique business analytics training firm in Menlo Park, California. In 2018, he joined University of California, Berkeley to lead the Fisher Center for Business Analytics at the Haas School of Business. He now focuses on academic & professional research & teaching. He also supports inclusion & diversity in data, with the creation in 2018 of the Berkeley Alliance for Inclusive AI. Gauthier is also the author of the book "Become a Data Pioneer," published in French, a must-read for learning analytics. As a life-long learner, he also spends his spare time surfing in the Pacific & scouting the universe with astrophotography.
