Before joining Redfin in October, Daryl Fairweather served as a Senior Behavioral Economist for Amazon, leading a team of analysts and economists who worked on improving employee performance and engagement. Earlier in her career, she worked as both an economist and an analyst for companies such as Intensity Corporation, Morgan Stanley, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Fairweather holds
a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Chicago and a bachelor’s degree from MIT.
Fairweather spoke to DS News about the value of her mentorship by Nobel Prize winner Richard Thaler, how her study of behavioral economics will inform her new role at Redfin, and what she took away from her work at Amazon.
