OutSystems just announced something big: join us in welcoming Woodson Martin, our new CEO. A longtime Salesforce leader, Woodson brings deep experience helping global businesses navigate big technology shifts — and he’s joining OutSystems at just the right time, as we all step into the next era of AI-powered development with apps, agents, and automation. 

Paulo has written a post about passing the torch for our developer community, and Woodson has this to say:

"For the last 30 years, the best, most energizing experiences in my career have been the times I spent with the people who actually use the product every day. OutSystems has an amazing developer community, and it's been awesome to see its growth so far – I'm excited to start working and to learn from this amazing group. "

Read the rest of Woodson’s message on the forum.

Our team is so thankful for all the incredible submissions; be on the lookout for further communications about the selection process. Be sure to register if you haven’t yet!
