Michael Worx Werich
FOUNDER & PROCUREMENT SPECIALIST
Michael Werich is the founder and principal force behind Walworx Agency, a procurement and supply chain consultancy known for seamlessly managing the sourcing and acquisition of materials and services that keep complex projects moving. With over three decades of experience, Michael brings strategic clarity, operational depth, and a hands-on approach to procurement execution, ensuring that what’s needed is not only identified, but delivered.
He has become a trusted partner to organisations across infrastructure, construction, housing development, and strategic sourcing sectors, expertly managing both procurement execution and strategic advisory to deliver tangible results.
Before founding Walworx, Michael held senior roles in leading global firms across consulting, construction, and infrastructure, most notably as a senior procurement executive at Bain & Company and Boston Consulting Group. His career began in industrial engineering with Turner Construction Company, anchoring his commercial insights in real-world execution.
Michael studied Industrial Engineering at Penn State and holds an MBA from the Prague University of Economics and Business. His international journey through the U.S., Europe, and the U.K. informs his nuanced understanding of diverse markets, supplier landscapes, and project demands.
Known for his trademark dark glasses and dry wit, Michael carries a nickname among peers and clients alike: “The Procurement Shade.” The moniker was coined after his successful battle with eye cancer, a challenge that left him with extreme light sensitivity and the lasting habit of donning dark glasses, even long after sunset. For him, they’ve become more than a necessity: a symbol of perspective, humour, and the quiet resilience that defines his approach to both life and leadership.
Today, Michael remains as committed to precision, resilience, and human connection as he was at the start. Whether orchestrating critical purchases or guiding strategic oversight, he ensures Walworx delivers with purpose, every time.
