Project Intelligence.
About Cherry
Cherry was built from a simple frustration shared by project managers everywhere:
Too much time is spent translating project schedules into status updates, executive decks and stakeholder reporting — and by the time they’re presented, they’re already out of date.
After more than 30 years leading programmes and delivery teams across financial services, infrastructure, government, defence, SaaS and InsurTech, Cherry founder Gill Townsend kept seeing the same problem repeated in every organisation:
The schedule lives in one tool.
The reporting lives in another.
And PMs spend hours every week manually bridging the gap.
Cherry exists to change that.
Built by someone who lived the problem
Cherry wasn’t created from a market report or startup trend.
It was built from decades spent inside complex delivery environments across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Ireland and the United Kingdom — managing global rollouts, PMOs, transformation programmes and enterprise delivery teams.
From banking and insurance to infrastructure and SaaS, the challenge remained the same:
-
fragmented tools
-
stale reporting
-
disconnected stakeholders
-
endless PowerPoint updates
-
limited real-time visibility
Cherry is designed to become the intelligence layer above the schedule — transforming complex project data into clearer visibility, executive-ready reporting and actionable insights.
Why Cherry exists now
For years, solving this problem required huge amounts of manual effort.
Today, AI makes something different possible.
Cherry combines modern AI capabilities with real-world delivery expertise to help PMOs, delivery leaders and project teams spend less time maintaining reporting and more time leading programmes.
The vision is simple:
The schedule already knows everything.
Cherry helps it speak.
The future of project intelligence
Cherry is currently in pilot development with a limited group of delivery professionals helping shape the platform in real-world environments.
The long-term vision is to create a smarter, real-time project intelligence platform that works across the tools organisations already use — without forcing teams to migrate systems or rebuild the way they work.
