Orbit - An Hg software leadership podcast · A golden age of software engineering with Russell Kaplan, Founding President of Cognition · 17 Apr 2025 podcast

Welcome to Orbit, the HG podcast series, where we talk to leaders of technology businesses and hear how they've built some of the most successful software companies across the world.

I'm Jason Richards, head of Portfolio Technology at HG, and I'm delighted today to be joined by Russell Kaplan, founding president of Cognition.

We'll hear more shortly, but Cognition's Deving Product is an AI software engineer.

is capable of completing programming tasks and collaborating with human developers.

Cognition is well known to us here at HG.

We have over 20 portfolio companies currently engaged with cognition leveraging Devin.

Russell's fresh off the stage from his high-impact keynote here at HG's Digital Forum.

Russell, thanks for being here.

Really appreciate it.

Thanks so much for having me.

Before we sort of get started and and sort of talk about cognition, a number of our our listeners may not be familiar with yourself and your background.

So I wondered if you could perhaps introduce yourself for a second.

Fantastic.

I mean some great experiences during that time.

And so any sort of pivotal moments that laid the foundations for what you're doing at cognition now that you sort of reflect on and think that's been really key for the mission, what we want to achieve and how we're going to take ourselves forward.

Well, 'cause you you've had that competitive programming background.

So I guess that that sort of interest, that passion, coupled with this has got it sounds like boundaries where you'll be able to you're gonna be able to tell quite quickly the impact of the new processes, the new the way you're leveraging the models, the new technology.

So it sounds like it's a great use case really, right?

For for the foundations of of cognition and how you've leveraged technology.

That's all that depth of technical knowledge, understanding is really cool, really key.
