I’m Hubert Behaghel, a husband, father of six and CTO of Veriff. An ecclectic career has led me all over Europe, working across industries in companies like Amazon, Sky, M&S and more recently Typeform.
As a senior tech exec, I specialise in building strong engineering communities. I achieve that through a people-first leadership built on authenticity, meaningful missions, uncompromising operational excellence and lots of feedback loops.
I do not simply help advance a team, a product or a business through Software Engineering. I endeavour to advance Software Engineering through that.
I am a keen public speaker and a seasoned leadership coach. I support the free software movement. I have stopped fine-tuning my GNU/Linux kernel a while ago but I still enjoy evolving my NixOS setup. Emacs Lisp is bound to be the last programming language standing on my CV. I hold Alan Kay in great regard.
I am French and British, currently living in Barcelona, Spain.
I use this blog to clarify my thinking.
Some Of My Beliefs #
Decompose & Compose is the essence of Software Engineering.
Product and Engineering are the two hemispheres of the same brain.
Context switching & complexity are the two invisible enemies of Software Engineers.
Data & Industrialisation are the two most powerful forces of our time.
The relationship of a tech team with its tooling is a measure of its maturity.
