Driving Trusted Decisions
Where Mathematical Optimizaton Comes to Life
We’re living in the age of AI, where insight is everywhere—but true impact is rare. While generative AI and machine learning can accelerate exploration by surfacing patterns, scenarios, and possibilities, turning those insights into defensible, high-value decisions requires a different kind of AI: mathematical optimization.
As everyday business decisions become increasingly tangled with complexity, optimization determines the best course of action within real-world limits to ensure not just better, but optimal outcomes for airlines, healthcare, finance, and beyond.
Following an unforgettable experience at Vienna's Hofburg Palace last year, the 2026 Gurobi Decision Intelligence Summit will bring us to the ARIA Hotel and Resort in Las Vegas.
At the 2026 Gurobi Decision Intelligence Summit, we’ll showcase the real-world impact of optimization through innovative use cases, in-depth trainings, and expert-led panels, while also exploring how GenAI can break down barriers to entry and help more users leverage optimization’s powerful potential.
Join us to discover why 7 out of the top 10 leading enterprises trust their most complex business decisions to Gurobi, and learn how your organization can start achieving optimal outcomes, too.

Duke Perrucci
Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Perrucci has more than 30 years of experience in roles spanning sales, marketing and analytics. He joined Gurobi in 2018 as the CRO, heading both sales and marketing. He then moved into the COO role and ultimately the CEO position in 2023. Prior to Gurobi, he held the position of CRO at Cambridge Analytica – a predictive analytics firm. Here he built the commercial practice in North America by helping companies drive better advertising through the use of artificial intelligence. Before Cambridge he spent 8 years in the MarTech space with FocusVision. Here he built a global sales organization across 6 continents and 10 offices. Prior to FocusVision, Mr. Perrucci spent a total of 9 years at Information Resources Inc. (IRI) working in various analytic consulting roles across the entire PepsiCo enterprise. After the first 4 years at IRI, he decided to gain experience on the brand side and moved into analytics at Unilever. Before long he secured a position in brand management working on the Bertolli business – a $400 million brand in the United States. When IRI came calling again, it was an offer too good to pass up – running the Pepsi Cola and Quaker businesses out of PepsiCo’s world headquarters in Purchase, NY. Before this journey, Duke earned a BA in Classical Civilization from Fordham University. While en route, he earned his MBA from Cornell University.
Oliver Bastert
Chief Technology Officer
