I am an experienced leader in the B2B technology and app development space, with a special focus on high productivity (e.g. low-code) platforms. I’ve dedicated my career to building products, teams, and systems that have allowed thousands of customers to accelerate their innovation through “one-of-a-kind” software solutions built in ways that defy traditional paradigms.
I personally believe that, in the next few decades, the act of building and running software will be akin to basic literacy. We’ll witness a Cambrian explosion of new software being built – from simple apps that help a few people be more productive to very complex systems that run entire markets – by a diverse set of talent profiles with varying skill sets. At OutSystems, we are architects of this future. Having played many different cross-functional roles before, I currently lead product vision and strategy for OutSystems. I started at OutSystems 15 years ago because I stumbled upon the product and understood it would profoundly change the way software was built and, by direct consequence, how the world operated. Today, we are seeing the result of all that work come to fruition. But we are only getting started.
People I work with are kind enough to highlight my evergreen, boyish enthusiasm about challenges, my compelling communication, and my direct-yet-kind demeanor in interacting with everyone. All of this comes bundled with a passion to build thriving teams that stand the test of time by adapting and growing together to face new, unprecedented challenges. My biggest reward in life is being a parent. The second one is to hear from customers how we transformed their businesses, their careers, and their lives by allowing them to say “Yes, we can!” more often than not.
