Michalewicz was born in 1976 in Poland. His grandfather originally emigrated to the United States in 1910 but one of his grandfather’s daughters (Michalewicz’s mother) visited Poland in 1939 and became trapped in the country due to World War II. 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. He also earned his degree in financial management from UNC in 1998 and worked as a management consultant for Ernst & Young after he graduated from college.
Michalewicz launched his first business when he was 18 years old, which was a personal training company called Fitness Forever. After finishing college, he joined Ernst & Young as a management consultant, and later left to start a money management company with Dan Cullen, a former Edward Jones money manager. In 1999, he co-founded NuTech Solutions, Inc. with his father and Dan Cullen, where he worked as the company's president and chief executive until 2003. With the help of Cullen, he was able to raise $15 Million in private funds from angel investors. He incorporated the company in 1999 and began to absorb other companies in locations such as Charlotte, Denver, Poland, Germany, and Japan. During his time with NuTech, he helped grow the company to 150 employees (30 of whom had doctorates). The company also planned to file for an initial public offering but abandoned the plan after the stock market crash of 2000.
