Mr. Baruch’s role is to accelerate that model: enabling experienced practitioners to deliver more rigorous, more efficient work faster, with the right human judgment in place at every step. His work spans four areas: AI strategy for the practice; technology and product development, including the capability engine that takes ideas from concept to working tools; governance and risk in a regulated advisory environment; and enabling practitioners to use AI effectively in their day-to-day work. Practice outcomes include higher analytical rigor and sharper client experience across every engagement. 

Beyond the CDD practice, Mr. Baruch contributes to A&M’s AI strategy at the corporate level, including enterprise context engineering, security posture, and enterprise AI vendor relationships. 

Prior to joining the CDD practice, Mr. Baruch served as Chief Technology Officer for A&M Data Intelligence Gateway, an AI-native target identification product line, which he co-built from zero to production over five years. Previously, he co-founded HuMoov, a vertical SaaS startup. He has also held engineering roles at PayPal, IBM Research, Qualcomm, and Wilocity, spanning fraud detection, natural language processing, graph databases, big data, distributed systems, and embedded systems. 

Mr. Baruch earned a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology and an MBA from Cornell Tech. He is a veteran of the Israeli military’s Special Forces.
