Yuric Hannart

Yuric’s journey bridges technology, education, and global impact. He earned his B.A. in Economics and Computer Science from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and later completed his MBA in International Marketing and Finance at the University of San Francisco, a Jesuit institution known for its mission-driven approach to leadership.

After graduating, Yuric joined the U.S. Peace Corps and spent two years teaching Math and Physics in a remote Kenyan village — an experience that reshaped his understanding of access, opportunity, and innovation. Returning to the United States, he built a decades-long career in Silicon Valley, where he became a product management leader riding the waves of multiple technological revolutions. His work contributed to several industry firsts, including DSL internet technology, Intuit’s QuickBooks, the Palm VII—the world’s first handheld wireless device—and Vietnam’s first prepaid Visa card.

Yuric is currently a Distinguished Innovation Fellow at Arizona State University. He now seeks to harness the power of blockchain technology, AI, cross-border collaboration, and the vast expertise of the ASU community to reimagine how technology and education can help the world’s under- served population to have access and opportunities in a  truly human-centered world.
