He has been an opening speaker for the i7 Summit in Chantilly, France (2012) and the closing speaker at the Silicon Valley Comes to the Baltics Congress (2012) in Vilnius, Lithuania. He was a judge at the Princeton University and HEC Business Plan Competitions and Managed the European Private Equity Awards. Nicholas co-developed Qinect Africa, a mentoring program that brings together African entrepreneurs and INSEAD alumni and is co-author of the Kenyan and Tanzania World Start Up Reports.
