All Heart

Jason Bellet, BS 14, co-founded Eko Health to help reinvent the 200-year-old stethoscope as an AI-powered device—now used by more than 700,000 clinicians across five continents. UC Berkeley Haas honors him with its 2026 Leading Through Innovation Award for helping revolutionize cardiopulmonary care.

Conjuring Magic

Iris Wedeking, MBA 08, founded Kesem—a free nationwide camp for children whose parents face cancer—which has since supported more than 90,000 young people. Decades later, it became a lifeline for the daughters of Emily Miller and Patrick DeNeale, both MBA 01, in an unexpected UC Berkeley Haas connection.

Adaptive Leadership

At UC Berkeley Haas’ eighth annual Culture Connect Conference, more than 200 top business leaders and academics—including OpenAI chief economist Ronnie Chatterji and UC Berkeley Chancellor Rich Lyons—tackled how to guide teams through AI, economic uncertainty, and the changing nature of work while preserving culture and humanity.

Distorted Reality

A UC Berkeley Haas study in Nature, analyzing 1.4 million images and videos plus nine large language models, finds women are consistently portrayed as younger than men across online platforms—a distortion strongest in high-status jobs and amplified by AI in ways that could widen real labor-market gaps.

Frank McGorman, MBA 82, Retired Forensic Accountant, FBI

Frank McGorman, MBA 82, used his UC Berkeley Haas degree for two decades of Silicon Valley finance roles before making a surprising mid-career pivot: running the forensic accounting department at the FBI’s San Francisco field office, where his team worked cases including the Theranos investigation.

Code Blue

A UC Berkeley Haas study of 1.1 million emergency-room visits finds that how hospitals deploy nurse practitioners and physicians matters as much as which they hire—with no difference in patient mortality but meaningful gaps in cost and follow-up care.

Nancy Hoque, MBA 19, Sales Finance Director, Adobe

Nancy Hoque, MBA 19, a former engineer and entrepreneur, now directs sales finance and revenue strategy for Adobe’s multibillion-dollar sales organization—and is exploring how AI can transform the finance function, drawing on early advice from UC Berkeley Haas about leading through others.
