Google-owned Nest has lost two of its key people

Nest has lost a couple of key people this week: Yoky Matsuoka, the smart home company’s founding vice president of technology and Greg Duffy, who joined Nest after the company acquired home security company Dropcam. 

Nest, the connected home company acquired by Google last year, made the news yesterday with the departure of two of its key people: founding VP of technology Yoky Matsuoka and Greg Duffy, who had come to Nest as the CEO of acquired company Dropcam. In the wake of that, we’ve been passed (anonymously) two different memos from Nest co-founders Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers, which shed some more light on what is going on.
