Ex-music photographer promoted as right-hand man to X chief Linda Yaccarino tasked with fighting company’s political battles
Nick Pickles, a Yorkshire-born former music photographer, has risen to become one of the most prominent executives at X, charged with fighting Elon Musk’s growing number of political battles over the social media platform while fending off global regulators. X has promoted Pickles to vice-president of global affairs, according to an update on his LinkedIn page.
Pickles shares Musk’s libertarian ideals, people close to him said. He ran to be a Conservative MP in the 2010 general election, losing to Yvette Cooper, who is now home secretary. Pickles joined Twitter in 2014 as a London-based senior public policy manager.
