About Paul Hughes

Paul Hughes has been leading software engineering teams for over 20 years, which is a surprising journey for a developer who was adamant he never wanted to get into leadership. After coming through some health challenges early in his career, Paul discovered a passion for helping people thrive at work and has spent the last decade intentionally focused on the kind of leadership and culture that enables people to flourish while achieving amazing things.

Paul is the Director of Engineering Enablement at Culture Amp, and when he’s not at work you’ll find him spending lots of time with his wife and two teenage girls, undertaking some kind of physically challenging activity, or in the early hours of the morning chipping away at his book Love Your Team that explores the importance of love in leadership.
