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.

Deborah Berebichez Speaking Topics

  • 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.
