In this special episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Mendix CEO Raymond Kok at their Rotterdam headquarters to explore the evolving landscape of low-code development.

Ray shares his unique journey from mechanical engineering into the world of software, his early discovery of low-code, and his pivotal role in Mendix’s acquisition by Siemens. We unpack customer feedback, strategies for overcoming skepticism, and his long-term vision for scaling the platform globally.

Ray also emphasizes the critical role of governance in low-code adoption and offers his perspective on market dynamics between the US and Europe. The conversation dives into the integration of generative AI with low-code, showcasing how it drives productivity and democratizes development.
