Michael De La Maza

Hi, I'm Michael! I’m a Professor of Business Analytics & Machine Learning, Angel Investor, and Amazon Bestselling Author. I help high-potential companies and teams perform better by designing AI-driven solutions and developing breakthrough algorithms for financial time series analysis.

As an angel investor, I’ve backed four unicorns and co-founded companies later acquired by Oracle and Microsoft.

Outside work, I’m a master’s long jumper, ranked in the top 25 in the USA for my age group—bringing the same discipline, data-driven strategy, and boldness to business as I do to athletics.
