Hi, I’m Hugo

Architect. Author. Builder.

Fifteen years leading Dynamics 365, Power Platform and AI programmes into production.

Hugo Herrera
How I work

In the field, not above it.

I own the architecture end to end. I make the as-is clear to everyone, agree the goals and the to-be with stakeholders and business owners, then lead the team to a live system through clear plans, agreed designs and visible progress.

I work visually, so everyone understands the plan. Microsoft has contracted me four times since 2017.

An AI is being trained to do my job.

That is not a threat to flinch from. It points to four new roles worth building towards: building, hiring, directing and checking AI agents.

I live in Køge, Denmark, and work across the UK and EU. Away from the keyboard you’ll often find me jogging through the forest, trying to keep up with my cocker spaniel.
