What people say about me

What people say about me

  • Michel Ferry

    Senior Product Manager at Coveo

    I had the pleasure of working with Hugo at Coveo, and let me tell you—if you're looking for someone who will challenge the status quo, he's your person.
    Hugo isn't just a go-getter; he's a go-getter with a map and a mission. He's never content with "good enough" and always strives to align our initiatives with the core interests of our users.

    As a team coach, Hugo was the glue that held his initially unstructured team together. He didn't just bring stability and vision; he brought a game plan that turned his UX team into a well-oiled machine—cohesive, focused, and more tuned than a finely calibrated radio.

    And passion? If it were contagious, Hugo would definitely be patient zero. His dedication to quality work and his insatiable appetite for impactful results are not just admirable, they're inspirational. Working with him was a masterclass in how to love what you do and make a difference while doing it.

    If you're on the lookout for a powerhouse who can elevate your team and deliver results that resonate, Hugo is your ticket to success.
    Just make sure you can handle the pace!

  • Anne Catherine Verrette

    Senior Product Designer at Coveo

    Hugo is the team lead I never knew I needed until he joined our ranks. His leadership style is truly remarkable; he consistently advocates for and defends his designers. In times of challenge, whether professional or personal, Hugo is a steadfast support—we can always rely on him to have our backs. His finesse in navigating delicate situations ensures that every team member feels valued and heard. Hugo not only supports us but also empowers us to reach our full potential.

    During our time working together, Hugo took the initiative to establish a robust design system at Coveo—an undertaking long overdue. His strategic approach to realizing this vision has been nothing short of impressive. Setting up a strong design practice was no small feat, but Hugo tackled it with unwavering dedication and skill. It is really a privilege to work under his guidance.
