Google?s European M&A Man Leaves To Explore New Startup Fund

Anil Hansjee, long time Head of Corporate Development at Google EMEA has left, effective today. This is quite a big change in the European startup eco-system, as Hansjee was effectively the guy who startups and VCs in Europe went to to sell their companies to Google. We've reached out to Google to check whether he will be replaced. In an email to colleagues - which TechCrunch Europe has seen -Hansjee said: "I most definitely won't find anything like this job in any other corporate development role (and I mean ANY) so I'm not even going to try. Instead for now, I'm going to take some time and do some advisory work (and maybe raise a different kind of fund - but more on that later!)" I rang him up to quiz him on this, and it turns out his plans to raise a fund to back early stage startups are more than a "maybe".
