Former Bank of America CEO Hugh McColl also invested personally into NuTech Solutions and served on the company's board of directors. NuTech was purchased by Netezza Corporation in 2008, and Netezza was later acquired by IBM.

Michalewicz co-founded Complexica in 2014, which is a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence software. The company's core product – an AI-based software robot called Larry, the Digital Analyst – can help organisations increase revenue, margin, and productivity using automated analytics.

The book was published by Springer and contains information about predicting the future of business environments including subjects such as data mining, predictive modeling, forecasting, optimization, and adaptability. In 2007, he co-authored his second book entitled Winning Credibility. The book was published by Hybrid Publishers and is a book that gives advice to new entrepreneurs on challenges that they face when starting a business. His third book, Puzzle-Based Learning, was released in 2008. The book contains teaching and learning methods that are designed to develop problem-solving skills. The book was developed into an educational program and has a website where people can log in and take the course. The book is also used as a textbook in numerous college and university courses. His fourth book, Life in Half a Second, was released in 2013. The book discusses the five fundamental factors that are scientifically proven to drive success in life and business, how each factor works, and how the reader can apply them.

Michalewicz co-founded SolveIT Software in 2004, a year after his arrival in Australia. The other co-founders are Zbigniew Michalewicz, Martin Schmidt, and Constantine Chiriac. All were the co-authors of the book Adaptive Business Intelligence. Several employees from NuTech also came to join the new company including NuTech board member and former president of Poland Lech Wales. The company develops advanced planning and scheduling optimization software, which helps manage complex operations using artificial intelligence. Most of the products were initially developed around the key South Australian industries of wine and grain handling, and today SolveIt has a specialist mining division due to early adoption of the company's products within the mining market. The software helps companies optimize their production, logistics, maintenance, and workforce activities.

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.
