Matthew Michalewicz (born 1976) is a Polish entrepreneur and author with experience in the fields of technology, commercialization and supply chain management.

He is the co-author of a number of books and publications, some of which have been adapted into courses on problem solving in colleges and universities.

[2] Michalewicz is a speaker and has given keynote speeches for organizations on topics of personal motivation, success and entrepreneurship.

His grandfather had originally emigrated to the United States in 1910, but Matthew's mother visited Poland in 1939 and became trapped in the country due to World War II.

[5] In 1982, his family fled from communist Poland to New Zealand but came to the United States in 1989 when his father became chairman of the UNC Charlotte's computer science department.

In 1999, Michalewicz co-founded NuTech Solutions, Inc. with his father and Dan Cullen, where he worked as the company's president and chief executive until 2003.

[1] The software developed by NuTech Solutions used artificial intelligence to boost the efficiency of client's manufacturing, distribution, and customer service.

Former Bank of America CEO Hugh McColl also invested personally into NuTech Solutions and served on the company's board of directors.

[8] The company develops advanced planning and scheduling optimization software, which helps manage complex operations using artificial intelligence.

Most of the products were initially developed around the key South Australian industries of wine and grain handling, and today SolveIt has a specialist mining division due to early adoption of the company's products within the mining market.
