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.

Haas earned @PoetsandQuants’ 2026 Best in Class award for social impact "not because of a single program or center, but because the commitment is written into the school’s identity, its four Defining Leadership Principles—especially the one called 'Beyond Yourself.'" Dean Jenny Chatman described Haasies as brilliant, "universally kind people who want the world to be a better place, and who feel the obligation on their shoulders."

Can AI companies train their models on copyrighted books, images, and music? The answer may depend on a legal theory called “market dilution,” the idea that a flood of AI-generated content is undercutting human creators. In a new policy article in Science, Abhishek Nagaraj of UC Berkley Haas, Pamela Samuelson of UC Berkeley Law, and NYU’s Christopher Jon Sprigman say the theory doesn’t yet have the evidence behind it. It isn’t clearly defined, and it’s hard to measure when so many new works mix human and AI contributions. If market-wide harm is shown, they argue, legislatures may be better placed than courts to respond. Read more on Haas News at the link in our bio.
