Key Takeaway
As the new CEO, my primary goals are to lead in AI and enhance OutSystems’ position as a low-code platform. I aim to accelerate growth, improve customer impact, and assist organizations in modernizing legacy systems. A significant challenge is navigating the fast-evolving tech landscape amid global instability. While generative AI and vibe coding tools empower creativity, they also pose risks for enterprise security, as employees create applications that may compromise sensitive data. OutSystems addresses these issues by providing a platform with robust observability and lifecycle management, ensuring that innovation remains safe, sustainable, and scalable.
After recently assuming the role of CEO, what are your primary goals, ambitions, and challenges to address?
Our top priority is to lead in AI and the agentic future, building on the robust foundation that OutSystems has established as a pioneering AI-powered low-code platform.
I aim to accelerate our growth, enhance customer impact, and expand our role in helping organizations modernize legacy systems.
One of the most significant challenges is navigating a rapidly evolving technology landscape, where global instability and uncertainty add an extra layer of complexity. For years, AI, cloud, and security expectations have been reshaping how software is developed and delivered.
Gen AI and vibe coding tools are incredibly exciting as they unleash creativity and potential across organizations. Suddenly, everyone can create software. However, this also presents a challenge for enterprise technology leaders.
Imagine being a Chief Information Security Officer and realizing that employees throughout the company are now generating applications that interact with your core systems, sensitive data, and proprietary documents.
While some of these experiences are remarkable, often hidden beneath the surface is a tangled web of messy, inconsistent code and a significant amount of tech debt. This is where a platform like OutSystems becomes crucial.
For nearly 25 years, OutSystems has empowered CIOs and CISOs to place innovation directly in the hands of business users and developers safely. Our platform was designed with full observability, lifecycle management, rapid iteration, and an infrastructure capable of supporting mission-critical systems.
Now, with OutSystems Mentor, our AI for enterprise vibe coding, we’re taking this even further. Developers can create applications through natural conversations with AI, while the underlying code is generated deterministically, ensuring it is consistent, secure, and production-ready every time.
This blend of creative freedom and control is precisely what enterprises need. Therefore, I believe mature platforms like OutSystems will serve as the foundation that keeps innovation safe, sustainable, and scalable.
