David Austin Professor of Management, Marketing, IT and Data Science, MIT; Director, MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy; Founding Partner, Manifest Capital

Author of the new book The Hype Machine, Aral explores how social media is disrupting our businesses, politics, and public health. He was the chief scientist at SocialAmp, one of the first social commerce analytics companies (until its sale to Merkle in 2012), and at Humin, a social platform that the Wall Street Journal called the first “social operating system” (until its sale to Tinder in 2016). He is currently a founding partner at Manifest Capital and on the advisory board of the Alan Turing Institute, Britain’s national institute for data science, in London. Aral has worked closely with Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Airbnb, Yahoo, Jet.com, Microsoft, IBM, Intel, Cisco, Oracle, SAP, and many other leading Fortune 500 firms on realizing business value from big data analytics, social media, and IT investments. He is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Northwestern University, holds master’s degrees from the London School of Economics and Political Science and Harvard University, and received his PhD from MIT.

“This class was so good. I decided to sign up for another. The assignments were very engaging, and the weekly workload was not only clearly communicated, but it was also accurate. This allowed me to plan my time for studying and assignments effectively. I am still amazed at how much I learnt in just six weeks.”

– Aubrecia Houston, Strategy Manager at Verizon
