By Anand Sundaram, CEO of Applitools
I’m thrilled to share that I’ve joined Applitools as CEO.
For over a decade, I’ve admired this company for pioneering Visual AI and transforming how teams think about software quality. Applitools Eyes didn’t just make testing faster—it created an entirely new category that fundamentally changed how organizations approach quality at scale. Today, with the Applitools Intelligent Testing Platform and our Autonomous product evolving rapidly, we’re once again reshaping what’s possible.
Why I Joined Applitools
What drew me here is the rare combination of groundbreaking technology and exceptional people. Applitools has built a platform that sits at the heart of modern software delivery, helping teams validate quality at every stage—from design to deployment—and enabling them to ship with confidence.
We’re at another major inflection point. AI is transforming how software is built, tested, and delivered—at unprecedented speed and scale. Code is being generated faster than ever by both humans and machines, and quality can’t become the bottleneck. Applitools is uniquely positioned to help organizations navigate this transformation, delivering applications and services with speed, confidence, and uncompromising quality.
Looking Ahead
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be focused on listening and learning. I want to hear from our employees, customers, and partners—what excites you about Applitools, where you see opportunities, and what bold ideas we should explore together. Your insights will shape our path forward.
This is an incredible moment for Applitools. Together, we’ll build on our momentum, deepen our impact with customers, and define the future of AI-driven software quality.
Thank you to everyone who has already extended such a warm welcome. I’m honored to lead this team and excited about what we’ll accomplish together.
