Hugo Cozic

Forward Deployed Engineer, founder of Vetta and CEO of Runways.dev

Hugo built his first Shopify stores around 2015, while studying management and accounting, after teaching himself to code as a teenager. He then specialised in digital marketing at ESCEN in Bordeaux and has worked with clients since 2018, first in web communication, then as a webmaster. Since 2020 he has led IT projects at Rodhouse, including its full migration to Shopify in 2023, and is now its Tech Lead. Vetta grew out of a problem he kept meeting with clients: content changed by people nobody had checked, with no way back. Away from the screen, he travels, keeps a close eye on investing and new technology, and spends as much time as he can on the water.
