How to create high-quality experiences for people using products that get results and improve the bottom line.
Aurimas Adomavicius is the co-founder and President of Devbridge, a Chicago-founded tech consultancy with five hundred employees across five offices around the globe. Devbridge helps design and ship products for companies such as Grainger, Allstate, Wells Fargo, CIBC, Prudential Financial, John Deere, United Airlines, and Exelon. Devbridge has been recognized as the fastest growing company in the US for seven consecutive years by the Inc 5000, a Fast 50 company in Chicago by Crain’s for three years in a row, and has won multiple awards for company culture and employee engagement.
In parallel to commercial pursuits, Devbridge has established an educational entity called the Sourcery – its mission is to educate kids, young adults, and seasoned professionals across a variety of technology topics.
Sourcery for Kids hosts over 500 kids ages seven to twelve (many from socially-at-risk families) participating in a full year, free-to-attend coding academy. In recognition of these efforts, the President of Lithuania Dalia Grybauskaite has awarded the program the highest honors. The long term goal of Sourcery for Kids is to influence educational policy and scale the reach of the program.
Sourcery for Students is a university-integrated program that immerses third and fourth year college students into real-world solutions being worked on at Devbridge.
Sourcery for Product is a fast-track academy for senior professionals looking to adopt Product Design, Product Management, and Product Engineering capabilities into Fortune 500 companies.
Aurimas has won the EY Entrepreneur of the Year in 2018. He actively writes and speaks about product strategy at SXSW, Money20/20, Sibos, Bureau of Digital, Techweek, and other events.
“Failure is inevitable in product. Catastrophic failure is avoidable. The objective for product leaders is to build trusting, empowered teams that can fall and get up with minimal loss of productivity and morale.”
