Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Kotze is an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Cape Town who blends rigorous academic research in developmental macroeconomics and econometrics with practical data science applications. With over a decade of experience in academia and prior executive leadership as an executive director at major fund managers and CTO of a data science firm, he translates complex models into policy-relevant tools used by governments, central banks and state-owned enterprises. His work bridges theory and practice—several research outputs have been implemented in policymaking—and he continues to consult for public and multinational clients. Trained at Stellenbosch (PhD, MCom), he pairs deep econometric expertise with hands-on data science execution, a combination that informs both his teaching and applied consulting.
