- mckee1 8y agoFunnily enough, I had a meeting with Nick a few months ago (about Brexit) and he mentioned being out in SV as part of work his organisation was doing. I suspect that may have not been the full truth.. His organisation, Open Europe, employed 6 people. I wonder if they will follow him to FB. For what it's worth, given his domain expertise (particularly the EU), I think it is a fantastic hire.
