Cesar Gon, founder and CEO of CI&T, commented, “Our record start to 2026, marked by 23.2% organic growth in 1Q26, confirms that CI&T is successfully evolving into a global partner for tech-integrated business solutions. We continue to advance two distinct AI-driven growth vectors: AI deployment, which expands revenue through IP-based solutions and AI-adoption engagements, and AI monetization, which expands margins by evolving our pricing models to capture a greater share of the productivity gains and business value created by AI.

These two growth vectors are becoming increasingly visible in our results. 2025 was a very strong year for AI deployment, and this trend has only strengthened in 2026. At the same time, our AI monetization efforts are becoming more tangible: in 1Q26, 20% of new sales were already based on new pricing models. We expect these models to contribute to gross margin expansion over the coming quarters as adoption continues to accelerate. Together with a robust and accelerating sales pipeline, these dynamics give us the confidence to increase our full-year revenue guidance.”
