Key Takeaway
As the new CEO, my primary goal is to position OutSystems as a leader in AI and low-code solutions, accelerating growth and enhancing customer impact while modernizing legacy systems. A significant challenge is navigating the fast-evolving tech landscape amid global uncertainty. The rise of generative AI and vibe coding tools empowers employees to create software, but this poses risks for enterprise security. OutSystems addresses these concerns by providing a platform that ensures consistent, secure code generation. Our new AI-driven feature, OutSystems Mentor, enhances this by allowing developers to build applications through natural conversations, ensuring innovation remains safe 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 solid 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 their legacy systems.
One of the major challenges is navigating a rapidly evolving technology landscape, where global instability and uncertainty add an additional layer of complexity. For years, AI, cloud, and security expectations have been transforming 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 has the ability to build software. However, this also presents a daunting challenge for enterprise technology leaders.
Imagine being a Chief Information Security Officer and realizing that employees throughout the company are now creating applications that interact with your core systems, sensitive data, and proprietary documents.
While some of these experiences are remarkable, what often lies beneath is a tangled web of messy, inconsistent code and a significant amount of tech debt. This is where a platform like OutSystems becomes indispensable.
For nearly 25 years, OutSystems has empowered CIOs and CISOs to safely place innovation directly in the hands of business users and developers. Our platform was designed with full observability, lifecycle management, rapid iteration, and an infrastructure capable of supporting mission-critical systems.
With OutSystems Mentor, our AI for enterprise vibe coding, we are 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 what enterprises genuinely require. Therefore, I believe that mature platforms like OutSystems will serve as the foundation that keeps innovation safe, sustainable, and scalable.
