Dr Adam Sroka, Head of Machine Learning Engineering at Origami Energy, is an experienced data and AI leader helping organisations unlock value from data by delivering enterprise-scale solutions and building high-performing data and analytics teams from the ground up. Adam shares his thoughts and ideas through public speaking, tech community events, on his blog, and in his podcast.

Many organisations aren't getting the most out of their data and many data professionals struggle to communicate their results or the complexity and value of their work in a way that business stakeholders can relate to. Being able to understand both the technology and how it translates to real benefits is key.

Simply hiring the most capable people often isn’t enough. The solution is a mix of clear and explicit communication, strong fundamentals and engineering discipline, and an appetite to experiment and iterate to success quickly.

If this is something you’re struggling with - either as an organisation finding its feet with data and AI or as a data professional - the approaches and systems Adam has developed over his career will be able to help so please reach out.

Cutting edge data technologies are redefining every industry and adopting these new ways of working can be difficult and frustrating. One day, there will be best practices and playbooks for how to maximise the value from your data and teams, but until then Adam is eager to share his experiences in both business and data and shed some light on what works.

After studying Chemical Engineering at TU Dresden and earning my degree as a Dipl.-Chem.-Ing., I quickly discovered my entrepreneurial spirit. During my studies, I developed the web-based "ChemTics" toolkit and, together with a fellow student, won the ChemCar competition in 2012. These achievements laid the foundation for my career, which led me to work as a research associate at TU Dresden and as a researcher at Lonza in Switzerland.

In 2014, I founded SupraTix GmbH with the support of an EXIST start-up grant. As Managing Director, I lead a company that develops AI-based solutions, cloud software, and platforms like SupraWorx, SimulateOS, supraAgent and openReactor - creating digital ecosystems for process optimization, learning and working. Additionally, I serve as Interim CEO for two spin-offs focused on Cyber Resilience and Course Compose.

My drive for innovation extends beyond business development into research. I have published several scientific papers and hold a patent for a method of adaptive and optimizing process control. This invention enhances the efficiency of chemical processes by integrating multiple subprocess simulations.

My leadership style is defined by customer orientation, direct communication, and a collaborative approach. I firmly believe that digitalization projects should not follow a "We’re building an app" mindset but instead focus on delivering lasting value for end users. That’s why we involve our customers as partners in every development process. Regular feedback allows us to create tailored solutions that perfectly align with their needs. This open, hierarchy-free work culture fosters trust and strong team cohesion - reflected in outstanding employee ratings.

Innovation thrives on reflection, continuous learning, and the courage to embrace change. That’s why I advocate for bootstrapped growth, free from external investors. This independence enables us to fully pursue our vision of equal opportunities, diversity, and a global knowledge community -actively shaping the digital future.
