Franco Giaquinto is the CEO and Founder of Outbuild, a pioneering force in construction technology. Driven by a vision to elevate industry standards, Franco founded the company in Latin America with the mission to revolutionize how construction projects are managed. As one of the first venture-backed contech startups in the region, Outbuild faced numerous challenges, including resistance to innovation in traditional construction environments. However, Franco’s relentless drive and passion for transforming the industry propelled the company forward, with their innovative software, ProPlanner, being adopted across multiple countries.

Following the pandemic, Franco made the bold decision to shift the company's focus to the U.S. market, recognizing its potential for technology adoption and venture capital growth. By rebuilding the product to meet the needs of U.S. general contractors, Franco spearheaded Outbuild's reemergence as a global leader in scheduling and planning software, securing partnerships with major companies and growing the team to over 30 employees.

Today, Outbuild continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in construction management, with over 130 customers and more than 700 projects running on their platform. Franco’s leadership and vision have positioned Outbuild as a key player in empowering jobsite teams to plan better, coordinate effectively, and achieve superior project outcomes.
