Nick Clegg
General Partner at Hiro Capital, Former Deputy PM & Former President of Global Affairs at Meta
Sir Nick Clegg occupies a rare position at the crossroads of democratic leadership and global technology. As the former Deputy Prime Minister of the UK and a long-standing leader in the Silicon Valley ecosystem, he has governed through economic crisis and overseen the scaling of the world’s largest digital platforms. On stage at global summits, Nick deconstructs the "Governance Gap," proving that AI scaling laws and digital trust are the new frontiers of national security and corporate legitimacy.
He assists global organisations in navigating regulatory acceleration, utilising his unique perspective to help boards synchronise technological innovation with democratic accountability. By reframing digital power as a structural challenge for modern states, he transforms technological disruption into a measurable driver of organisational resilience.
For leaders navigating the overlap of political authority and AGI governance, Nick provides a sophisticated roadmap for exercising responsibility at an unprecedented scale.
