Welcome back to part two of a very special interview with our 2025 INFORMS President Dave Hunt. Earlier this month, we released part one of our conversation, during which we took a look at Dave’s goals and objectives for INFORMS in the year ahead, as well as answered some informative but FUN questions about Dave to help our listeners and INFORMS members get to know him a little better. Today, we continue our conversation with a look at how Dave came to be into the field of OR/MS and analytics, what shaped his career path, and what the exciting new ways he sees INFORMS members continue to contribute to making smarter decisions for a better world.
