Summary
Hugo Cornejo is a London-based product and design leader with 15 years of experience blending engineering rigor with human-centred design. As Cofounder of Packfleet and former VP of Design at Monzo, he has taken ideas from day-one scrappy prototyping to scaling teams of 30+ designers and researchers supporting millions of customers. His background as a software engineer informs a pragmatic approach to building simple, usable products from complex systems—he still cites designing Monzo’s hot coral card as a small cultural victory that captured big brand impact. Comfortable at the intersection of product, brand and engineering, he has led cross-functional teams through rapid growth and operationalisation. Educated in computer science with postgraduate study in HCI, he combines technical depth with craft-driven design sensibilities. Colleagues describe him as someone who deliberately makes hard problems feel simple while keeping an eye on memorable outcomes.
