About Sir Nick Clegg
Former Deputy Prime Minister Sir Nick Clegg is one of the UK’s most recognisable political figures and a leading voice on global affairs, technology policy and international politics. From 2010 to 2015, he served as Deputy Prime Minister in Britain’s first post-war coalition government, leading the Liberal Democrats and helping steer the country through the aftermath of the global financial crisis.
During his time in government, Sir Nick occupied the second-highest office in the UK and played a central role in major policy decisions and reforms across education, health, pensions and constitutional affairs. He also oversaw landmark political moments including the referendum on electoral reform and the Scottish independence referendum.
Before entering Westminster politics, Sir Nick worked as a journalist for the Financial Times, before joining the European Commission where he specialised in international trade and relations with the former Soviet Union. He later became a Member of the European Parliament before being elected MP for Sheffield Hallam in 2005, a seat he held for 12 years.
Following his departure from frontline politics, Sir Nick moved into the technology sector, joining Facebook in 2018 as Vice-President of Global Affairs and Communications. He later became President for Global Affairs at Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, helping navigate some of the most significant global debates surrounding technology, regulation, free speech, artificial intelligence and online safety.
Fluent in five European languages and with extensive experience across both European and international politics, Sir Nick brings a rare perspective on geopolitics, leadership, global regulation and the intersection between government and technology.
Alongside his corporate and political work, Sir Nick is the author of several books including Politics: Between the Extremes and How to Stop Brexit. A highly experienced keynote speaker and commentator, he offers thoughtful insight into leadership under pressure, political change, global affairs, technology policy and the future of democracy in an increasingly divided and digital world.
