Nick Mills from CircleCI – Developer Tools and Moats

My guest today is Nicholas Mills. Nick is operator and early-stage investor, currently General Manager for EMEA at CircleCI, where he leads the new London HQ. 

Before joining CircleCI, Nick was the Head of Revenue for UK & Ireland at Stripe, and the Head of Sales for EMEA at Facebook so he has an incredible amount of experience to share with us. 

Nick is a wonderful guest and in this conversation, we cover absolutely everything:

• Nick’s path to leading the CircleCI London HQ
• His framework for when to leave a job, idea or project
• His work at CircleCI and how they are taking the CI/CD industry by storm
• Nick’s framework for hiring and managing a team and why one-on-one are so important
• What makes the London tech ecosystem unique
• How Nick picks the books he reads and why reading Fiction is important

… and so much more. 

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
