Notion, the San Francisco-based workspace software group worth $10bn, is expanding rapidly across Europe with the launch of a handful of new offices, including in London.

The Index Ventures and Sequoia-backed AI group is opening three new European locations, in London, Paris and Munich, that will serve as “EMEA hubs”.

Notion launched its first European regional headquarters in 2021 in Dublin, which has grown to more than 100 staff.

To lead the greatly expanded European operation, Notion has brought on Mick Hodgins, a former manager at Google, to serve as general manager for EMEA.

“It’s an honour to join Notion at this exciting moment for both the company and industry. As organisations across EMEA navigate AI, we have an opportunity to transform how they work with beautiful, flexible tools that elevate human craft,” said Hodgins.

“Notion now has tens of millions of users in EMEA—from students to CEOs, from high-growth startups to established enterprises. This diverse and innovative ecosystem shows that the future of work is at our fingertips.

As part of its push further into Europe, the company is also opening a data residency in partnership with Amazon Web Services in Frankfurt. Notion Enterprise users will be able to have their data stored in either the US or EU.

“We’re delighted to have Mick onboard to lead the next phase of growth in EMEA,” commented Erica Anderson, chief revenue officer at Notion.

“EMEA continues to be an important region for Notion as we invest in international markets. With his extensive experience and builder mindset, he’s the ideal leader to scale our team and support our growing customer base across the region.”
