Omri KohlCEO and co-founder of Pyramid Analytics said: “The benefits of technology should be available to everyone.

At Pyramid, we’re opening the door for as many people as possible to make faster, smarter decisions with data. I am honored to partner with Gauthier Vasseur, Program Director, in this effort.

Gauthier Vasseur, executive director of the Fisher Center for Business Analytics at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley and co-chair of AIAI, said: “The data is not important. The important thing is what you do with it. Used in the right way, they have the power to change the world, helping to rethink new solutions to the biggest problems we face today. The technology is there. The problem is much deeper: an economy where people of all ages and backgrounds lack the ability to use data due to a lack of skills.
“I am passionate about using my platform to discover and share data analytics, empowering people to make faster, more informed decisions with data. At the core of this work is the creation of a more diverse and equitable business analytics field. DEI is not just something we should do eventually, it is imperative. The data analysis chain is still too dominated by the same social groups, with the same limited perspectives when it comes to reading an algorithm or an analysis. Diversity of thought brings with it new ideas, skills and approaches, leading to innovative new ways of doing things across the company.
“It is a pleasure to work with Pyramid Analytics on this initiative. This is a company that is really focused on improving access and opportunity in data analysis, investing in these classes for students from all over the world.
