Hugo Alves is a founder and product leader with 12+ years of software experience and over 15 years blending clinical psychology, UX and web development to build human-centered AI products. As former Chief Product Officer at Synthetic Users and a Model Whisperer, he scales platforms that fuse NLP, behavioral science and engineering to create realistic synthetic personas for research and product testing. He pairs a master's in clinical psychology with a Le Wagon full-stack background, enabling rare cross-disciplinary fluency from experiment design to production code. Hugo has driven product strategy at startups and research labs alike, helping make trust the default currency of online research and teaching product design to aspiring developers. Based in Lisbon, he is multilingual (EN/FR/ES) and quietly combines academic rigor with hands-on engineering—often translating lab-grade experimental methods into pragmatic, deployable features.
