Summary
Adam Murray is an experienced engineering leader and founder with 15 years building high-performance teams and technically elegant systems that scale across startups and enterprise clients. He has grown engineering organizations from single digits to 30+, led over 100 successful projects (including Fortune 500 engagements), and drove a professional services business through a profitable acquisition by Lightbend. At Prismic he scaled teams rapidly, cut new-hire onboarding from eight months to under one, and launched a major Editor product while establishing AI and analytics capabilities. His background blends hands-on distributed-systems expertise (JVM, Rust, Scala, AWS) with business strategy—he holds a PhD in software engineering and an MBA and routinely bridges product, sales, and client delivery. Quietly pragmatic, he pairs academic rigor and mentoring with a proven knack for monetizing engineering practice and optimizing delivery for measurable growth.
