A Highlight of the Course
Dr. Duru’s recurring talks to my graduate class at USC Marshall Business School have been a highlight of my Marketing Analytics course. His extensive experience in analytics (over 30 years!) and his ability to connect theory with practice provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the field and its career opportunities. Students consistently commend his sessions for their practical insights and real-world applicability.

A Natural with Audiences
Dr. Duru spoke to my Cross-Cultural Management class several times. He engaged with students, discussed real-world applications of class concepts, and drove home the importance of execution. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and has a natural way with his audience. FIVE STARS!

Engaging
Duru gave an engaging talk about Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, and effectively managing the workflow of a company to the San Francisco State University SIAM Student Association. I especially appreciate his responsiveness to the audience and the extra mile he went in giving the students examples of mathematical careers drawn from his own LinkedIn network! He was an enjoyable speaker to host, and I recommend inviting him!

It really was a phenomenal talk about data. Unlike anything I have heard in the years I have been studying for my role…You functionalized abstract concepts in a way that I have never seen or heard before.

Immensely Useful
After seeing a real-talk post on LinkedIn from Duru, I reached out to him (he’s one of our alumni) with a topic request for a career education talk that was very different from his usual data science expertise. He responded quickly, and it was easy and fun to work with him to develop Choosing Wisely: How To Identify A Supportive Manager or Escape A Toxic One. His session was frank, vulnerable, and immensely useful to everyone who attended.
