Dr. Jason Dean brings decades of experience at the intersection of policy, education and economic development to American Algorithm. He holds a doctorate in education from the University of Mississippi.

In 2003 Jason joined Governor Haley Barbour's administration as education adviser. He is a former White House Fellow and has served as Vice President of the Mississippi Economic Council. A self-described "policy entrepreneur," he carried that public-service work into the private sector in aerospace, infrastructure and energy, and he founded the Mississippi Energy Institute. He has served on numerous state and national advisory boards, including six years on the Mississippi State Board of Education.

As AI reshapes how America builds, powers and governs itself, Jason brings a clear-eyed view of what it means for policy, the workforce and the economy. Through every role his focus has stayed the same: helping Mississippi grow into everything it is capable of being.
