SKALE has paid to relocate its Ukrainian employees and their families to Turkey and Portugal. But escape from the danger has not been easy.
SKALE is the story of one company, and also a tale of two cities. On Zoom calls, its team discusses evacuations from a war zone, and how to build the next internet. The company is at a crossroads of great instability and great potential, of a war zone and a booming industry.
“In many ways Kharkiv is a sister city to San Francisco,” Kladko said. “There is a deep connection between Kharkiv and San Francisco.” One of those San Franciscans worriedly watching from afar is Jack O’Holleran, the CEO and the other co-founder of SKALE. Over the past three years, he has traveled to Ukraine some 20 times, but now he must follow the war from the company’s offices in the Ferry Building. The comfortable offices don’t do much to reassure a chief executive with employees and friends in harm’s way.
