Bec Weeks

Executive Director, Tools of Thought Initiative
University of Chicago

I work on improving outcomes for individuals and organizations through metacognitive interventions — practical tools that help people think and learn more effectively — with a particular focus on workplace and career-readiness settings. My passion is applying behavioral science to advance human flourishing, including exploring how new technologies like AI and algorithms can support this goal. Previously, I conducted behavioral science research for public policy, co-founded a behavioral science tech startup, and was a management consultant at Bain & Co. I hold an MBA from Harvard Business School and undergraduate degrees in law and economics from the University of Sydney.
