I have a software background: I’ve worked in several companies and co-founded a start-up. For over 10 years, I worked as a Product Owner, partnering closely with teams and stakeholders to turn complex needs into sustainable solutions—balancing technical constraints, user experience, and business goals.

Over time, my focus shifted from “what we build” to “how we work together”. Very often, the real bottleneck isn’t strategy, but conversations, priorities, dependencies, and decision quality. Today I support individuals, teams, and organisations as an ICF coach, facilitator, and trainer. My approach is practical and non-judgemental: I help make visible what often remains implicit (flows, friction, decisions, responsibilities) and turn it into achievable, sustainable steps.

My work typically falls into three areas:

* Conversations that make a difference**: feedback and difficult conversations, with a focus on emotional intelligence at work, to improve collaboration, psychological safety, and shared accountability.
* People, behaviours, and organisational risk**: noticing weak signals in the organisation and exploring how leadership, delegation, and transparency affect prevention, reputation, and retention.
* Organisations that can navigate complexity**: building continuity between decisions and action, clarifying priorities, and making work flows clearer and more sustainable—using continuous improvement and transparency to look ahead and learn from experience.

When it helps, I also run facilitated workshops (e.g., LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® and Event Storming) to build shared understanding and turn it into concrete choices. My goal is to help people and organisations pursue ambitious outcomes without jargon—through clarity, respect for company culture, and a sustainable pace of improvement.

I build production AI agents and intelligent document processing for operational enterprises — banking, payments, government, and finance — from Cluj-Napoca and Timișoara.

Wittenberger Industries ships agentic automation where judgment and unstructured input matter, and RPA where the steps are fixed. Recent work includes hyperscale IDP on Kubernetes (5,000 docs/hour, ~14× faster than a robot fleet), agentic voucher validation (~71% faster, 72h → 18h cycles), a Teams-native ERP assistant (Mia), and an Outlook-embedded sales agent grounded in internal precedent.

Previously at UiPath I led technology services teams on Document Understanding and Human-in-the-Loop. I still speak and build at the intersection of UiPath, Python, agents, and cloud scale.

Your systems are built. Your people don't trust them.

That's the problem I solve.

As Data & Automation Director at HEI Civil, I've led enterprise data and automation strategy across multi-state operations. I speak to leaders and teams navigating fragmented data, manual processes, and growing complexity who want systems they can rely on, not workarounds.

Why I speak: I used to say I did it to "share knowledge" or "help the community." The real answer took longer to find. Early in my career I learned that building something correct isn't the same as building something people actually use, a gap that cost me more than I expected until I dug into the psychology of adoption and trust. That's the same work that's generated $1M+ in cost avoidance and returned 19,000+ hours a year at HEI Civil. I speak so other developers, managers, and leaders don't have to learn the hard way what I learned the hard way. Read the full story on my blog.

My sessions focus on:

Why well-designed programs fail without adoption
How to design systems leaders actually trust
Change management and governance as competitive advantages
Why the hardest part of any data, AI, or automation initiative is never the tool

Bilingual: English and Spanish. Available for keynotes, breakout sessions, workshops, and internal consulting engagements.

Maurice Cherry is an award-winning creative leader, editorial strategist, and cultural producer whose work sits at the intersection of storytelling, technology, media, and design. For more than 25 years, he has built platforms, creative systems, and bodies of work that turn ideas into meaningful experiences for audiences. His approach combines editorial judgment, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of how communities form around stories—particularly stories and perspectives that traditional creative industries have too often overlooked.

Across writing, design, podcasting, voice acting, and creative strategy, Maurice's work is connected by a consistent idea: good creative work needs more than execution. It needs a point of view, an audience, and a system that allows it to endure. That philosophy is perhaps best represented by Revision Path, the groundbreaking podcast he created to document the experiences of Black designers, developers, and digital creatives. Revision Path made history as the first podcast inducted into the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). His other independent projects—including the Black Weblog Awards, 28 Days of the Web, The Year of Tea, and the design anthology RECOGNIZE—similarly reflect a career spent creating spaces for ideas, people, and communities that deserve greater attention.

His design work, advocacy, and projects have garnered acclaim from leading organizations and publications, including Apple, Adobe, NPR, Forbes, and Fast Company. Most recently, in 2025, he was honored as one of the Eames Institute's Curious 100, recognizing his innovative contributions to reframing perspectives, amplifying voices, and inspiring action. He served as the Maryland Institute College of Art's 2021 William O. Steinmetz designer-in-residence, and in 2018, he received the Steven Heller Prize for Cultural Commentary from AIGA, was named one of GDUSA’s “People to Watch,” and was included in The Root 100, their annual list of the most influential African-Americans ages 25 to 45. That same year, Creative Loafing Atlanta recognized him as one of their Influentials in the fields of business and technology. Earlier in his career, Maurice was named one of Atlanta’s “Power 30 Under 30″ in Science and Technology by the Apex Society and was selected as one of HP’s “50 Tech Tastemakers” in collaboration with Black Web 2.0. He is also a valued executive member of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences.

Maurice’s approach to design strategy, problem solving, and creative systems is grounded in analytical thinking developed through his studies at Morehouse College, where he earned a degree in Mathematics.

A multidisciplinary builder with 16+ years of experience across design, marketing, front-end development, and entrepreneurship.

Today, my work focuses on AI enablement: helping organizations adopt AI in ways that are practical, sustainable, and psychologically informed.

What differentiates my approach is a focus on the human side of AI adoption. I bring cognitive science and psychology to AI transformation, not just tools, prompts, and workflows. I help organizations better understand the human factors that determine whether AI adoption succeeds or fails, and what to do about it.

My perspective is grounded in a background in psychology. I earned a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and spent more than three years as a lab manager in the Lupyan Lab, studying how language shapes thought, memory, and perception.

In addition, as a Claude Ambassador, empowered by Anthropic’s Claude Code Community program, I work with local AI communities to connect ecosystems, and help people meaningfully adopt emerging technologies through hands-on education, events, and real-world collaboration.

Working across Tel Aviv and Madison, Wisconsin, I focus on bringing practical AI culture, builder energy, and accessible learning opportunities into communities and organizations navigating rapid technological change.
