Notion Expands Across EMEA with New Offices, Leadership Appointment, and EU Data Residency

Notion, the connected AI workspace trusted by over 100 million users globally, has announced a significant expansion across the EMEA region, signaling its deepening commitment to international markets. The company is launching new offices in London, Paris, and Munich, appointing a new General Manager for EMEA, and introducing EU data residency for enterprise customers.

This strategic move strengthens Notion’s position as a leading AI-powered productivity tool and demonstrates its focus on local customer engagement, regulatory compliance, and regional talent acquisition.

🌍 New Notion Offices in London, Paris, and Munich

As part of its EMEA growth strategy, Notion is opening three new hub offices this quarter in:

• London, UK
• Paris, France
• Munich, Germany

These offices will focus initially on customer-facing roles, enabling the company to work more closely with local users and businesses. By investing in regional talent and resources, Notion aims to deliver a more tailored experience for its European user base.

This expansion builds on Notion’s EMEA momentum since the opening of its regional headquarters in Dublin in 2021, which now houses over 100 team members. In the past year alone, the company has doubled its headcount across the region, with plans to continue scaling through 2026.

👤 Mick Hodgins Appointed General Manager for EMEA

To lead the next phase of growth, Mick Hodgins has joined Notion as the new General Manager for EMEA. With a proven track record at Google, where he served as Managing Director of EMEA Ads, Hodgins brings deep expertise in building high-impact teams and scaling operations across diverse markets.

“It’s an honour to join Notion at this exciting moment for both the company and the industry,” said Mick Hodgins. “We have an opportunity to transform how organizations work across EMEA with beautiful, flexible tools that elevate human creativity and productivity.”

Operating from Notion’s Dublin office, Hodgins will be responsible for accelerating growth across key customer segments, expanding local teams, and strengthening Notion’s footprint through strategic partnerships.

🇪🇺 Notion Launches EU Data Residency for Enterprise Customers

In a move designed to enhance trust and compliance among European users, Notion has launched EU data residency for its Enterprise plan customers. Partnering with Amazon Web Services, Notion now offers the option to store workspace data at rest in Frankfurt, Germany.

Previously, all Notion data was hosted in the United States. While fully GDPR-compliant, the addition of EU-based storage provides enhanced flexibility for organizations seeking to meet strict data protection standards.

This feature is now available to all eligible Enterprise customers and has already been tested by dozens of companies through an early access program.

🇬🇧 Why the UK Market Is Key to Notion’s Growth

The UK is Notion’s second-largest market in EMEA by user base, with millions of active users, including top-tier companies such as:

• Monzo
• Dojo
• Synthesia
• Wayve

Nearly 6,000 UK startups have participated in Notion’s Startup Program, and 95% of UK unicorns rely on Notion to power their workflows. The platform is also gaining traction with large enterprises, with over 60% of FTSE 100 companies now using Notion.

“We’re excited to get even closer to our customers and partners in London, Paris, and Munich,” Hodgins added. “These offices, along with our data residency launch, show our ongoing commitment to the EMEA region.”

🚀 Notion’s Vision for the Future of Work

Notion’s mission is to build a connected, AI-powered workspace that empowers individuals and organizations to work smarter, faster, and more creatively. With the opening of its new European offices, a major leadership appointment, and the launch of EU data residency, Notion is reinforcing its role as a trusted partner for teams navigating the future of work.

“EMEA continues to be an important region for Notion,” said Erica Anderson, Chief Revenue Officer at Notion. “With Mick’s experience and leadership, we’re well-positioned to scale our teams and deliver even greater value to our growing customer base.”

📌 Final Thoughts

Notion’s strategic EMEA expansion reflects the growing demand for flexible, AI-powered tools that support collaboration and innovation at scale. As the company deepens its roots in Europe, customers across the region can expect improved service, enhanced data security, and stronger local engagement.
