Summary
Francis Peixoto is a seasoned software development leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling digital platforms for large organizations, currently serving as Director of Software Development at Exo. He rapidly launched and structured a 45-person development department in under six months, managing a CAD $6M+ annual budget and driving governance frameworks that reduced dependence on public tenders. Known for an empowerment-focused management style, he blends product strategy, agile delivery, and operational alignment to improve user experience and long-term technological sustainability across transportation and media domains. His background spans technical roles from system administration to software architecture and program management, giving him a rare combination of hands-on systems understanding and strategic product leadership.
