Pentti Juha Kalervo Kouri (12 February 1949 – 22 January 2009) was a Finnish economist and venture capitalist.
Kouri was the first Finn to get a scholarship to the United World College of the Atlantic.
It was at IMF's research organization where Kouri first met Michael G. Porter, an Australian economist, with whom he later developed the Kouri-Porter model.
He has served as a professor of economics at Stanford, Yale, Helsinki, and New York City universities.
In the "Kouri-deals", a group of investors including Kouri collaborated to buy a majority of the two largest banks of Finland, mostly with borrowed money, causing a political outcry.
