Cesar Gon, Founder and CEO Thank you, Eduardo, and good afternoon everyone.
Global AI spend is projected to hit $2.6 trillion this year, up 47% year over year.
And yet, according to MIT, roughly 95% of AI initiatives still show no measurable business return.
That gap is where I want to begin today.
We published two papers this quarter that get at why.
The first argues that most companies are optimizing the wrong variable, chasing incremental task efficiency instead of asking where I can return 10 times rather than 10%.
The second paper calls it organizational hallucination, the confident belief that a company is transforming when it's actually just experimenting.
In both cases, the constraint was never the technology; it's the organization's capacity to absorb it.
That gap is exactly where CI&T plays, and it's why we build our business around two: AI deployment, installing real capability inside a client's core; and AI monetization, capturing together with our clients the productivity gains and business impact that AI deployment creates through value-based commercial models rather than headcount.
Everything you will hear from us today—the robust and sustaining revenue growth and the increase in our sales investments to foster momentum, given the AI opportunity—is the same thesis playing out inside our own business.
This quarter's numbers reflect that opportunity and the deliberate choices we're making to capture it.
