Deborah Berebichez Biography

Deborah Berebichez is a Mexican-American physicist, data scientist, and science communicator known for her work at the intersection of advanced analytics, education, and public engagement. Raised in Mexico City, she developed an early fascination with understanding how the world works, which ultimately led her to pursue a career in physics—a path where she would become a trailblazer for women and underrepresented communities in STEM.

Berebichez earned her PhD in physics from Stanford University, becoming the first Mexican woman to do so in the field. Her academic work focused on applied physics, including optics and electromagnetic theory, and she later expanded her expertise into data science, machine learning, and risk analytics. Over the course of her career, she has held roles in both academia and industry, applying complex modeling techniques to solve real-world problems in finance, technology, and business strategy.

Beyond her technical work, Berebichez has become a prominent advocate for science education and diversity in STEM. She has worked with organizations such as Techstars and served as Chief Data Scientist at Metis, where she helped train the next generation of data scientists. Her passion for mentorship and inclusion has made her a sought-after speaker and advisor, particularly on issues related to women in science and the importance of accessible STEM education. She is currently a Partner at EY leading enterprise AI platforms across financial services, assurance and consulting.

Berebichez is also widely recognized for her media presence and science communication efforts. She has appeared as a correspondent and expert on networks including Discovery Channel and CNN, helping translate complex scientific ideas into engaging, accessible stories for broad audiences.

How Businesses Are Using Data to Thrive in Volatile Times

In today’s volatile business environment, where it is tempting to make decisions based on personal opinion, gut feelings or groupthink, companies need data-literate employees who can make data-driven decisions more than ever: data-driven companies outperform their competitors. This talk is focused on how to create a data-literate workforce. Dr. Debbie Berebichez, Chief Data Scientist at Metis, will discuss how to build an environment where people and data work together for better business. In this talk you will learn three important techniques to extract the most value out of a company’s data and thrive:

  • The proven benefits of a data-driven culture
  • How to create a company-wide, data-driven business environment
  • Examples of success and pitfalls to avoid when training employees in data-literacy

Changing the World One Equation at a Time

Debbie Berebichez grew up in a conservative community that discouraged girls from pursuing a career in science, technology or engineering. In high school she was told that if she were too smart, she would never be liked and that it would be better for her to pursue a feminine career. But she wanted to understand how the world works, so she defied her parents and friends and studied physics becoming the first Mexican woman to graduate with a PhD in physics from Stanford. In this inspirational presentation, she shares the ups and downs of her path, which led her to becoming a physicist, a TV host of science programs and a mentor to young women who want to become scientists. Debbie uses examples from her life-story to illustrate three principles – a strategic checklist that teaches women how to succeed in STEM (science, tech, engineering & math) and to remove barriers for other people to pursue careers in science and technology.

Things About the Future and the Future of Things (IoT)

Our lives are full of things. Alarm clock, shower, coffeemaker, clothes, phone, watch, car, computer, desk, chair—every day we interact with more things than people. If things could talk, they would be our best friends. And soon they will be. Because the things in our lives have started to talk to us, helping us make each day a little better, from the watch that monitors our health to the car that drives itself. This interconnected world—the Internet of Things (IoT)—offers new possibilities for personal growth. It offers exciting business opportunities and some unique challenges regarding data ethics, privacy and security. In this talk, Debbie Berebichez presents examples of the new culture of experimentation and innovation brought upon by IoT and how new business models are being created. She explores the future of predictive maintenance, what happens when products become services, and helps you reimagine the future of your own products, services and existing supply chains. Debbie tells us stories of the wonderful future that IoT is bringing to us and how it’s defying the status quo in every aspect of our lives. She also discusses the important challenges to security and privacy that come with this new reality.

Statistics and the Art of Deception (Workshop)

Data scientists use statistics to reach meaningful conclusions about data. Unfortunately, statistical tools are often misapplied, resulting in errors that cost both time and money. By being aware of the most common mistakes involving statistics, we can become better and more productive data scientists. To illustrate the kinds of problems that often arise, Debbie Berebichez presents examples of egregious misuses of statistics in business, technology, science, and the media and analyzes them through a review of basic statistical concepts. She explains how to weed out the most common errors and reduce the chance of being fooled by statistics.
