A few weeks ago Meltwater headquarters in San Francisco hosted a group of 30 master’s students from Nanyang University in Singapore and 20 MBA students from Oxford University. The event was a big success so I thought I would share some happenings from the day. But before I get into the details, I want to quickly introduce myself.
I was trained as an engineer at McGill University and became involved with a group called Engineers Without Borders Canada. With EWB, I led an IT project in the Philippines where we trained underprivileged youth across the country in computer skills so that they would be…
Last week Meltwater Press had a “soft opening” of its brand new Austin office! Ryan, the past Managing Director of Meltwater Press Atlanta is teaming up with Stephen, the Managing Director of Meltwater News Austin, to launch the brand new office and they have already hired their first new employee this past month. They’re currently working out of the Atlanta office before breaking ground in Texas later this summer.

We held an internal naming contest and this one was the winner. Thanks to our Recruitment Manager, Joe Latteri in Japan!).
All of the content will remain the same (but fresh) and you can continue to expect weekly blog posts that discuss professional advice, career reflections, Meltwater culture and the latest news & events. You’ll be able to check out the latest job opportunities…
Following recent events in Japan, our thoughts go out to all the people affected. Since the earthquake, many people have asked about the safety and wellbeing of our colleagues in Tokyo so we asked Asia Area Director Chris, whom’s based in Hong Kong, to give us an update:
In short, the whole team and their families are fine. When the earthquake struck shortly after lunch the Tokyo team was in the office getting ready for the afternoon ahead. Our office is on the 22nd floor of a building in downtown Tokyo and as managing director Yuri told me, “the quake was…
