Twitter tweets 4 executives quitting
Print Edition
TWITTER yesterday said four executives are leaving the company.
CEO Jack Dorsey posted a statement to the microblogging service saying that Alex Roetter, Skip Schipper, Katie Stanton and Kevin Weil are exiting the company. Dorsey said he wanted to address employees later this week, but issued a statement due to “inaccurate press rumors” about the departures.
Roetter served as senior vice president of engineering, Schipper was vice president of human resources, Stanton was vice president of social media, and Weil was senior vice president of product.
Dorsey said Chief Operating Officer Adam Bain would be taking on some additional responsibilities on an interim basis. Chief Technology Officer Adam Messinger will also be assuming some responsibilities.
After a long streak of robust growth that turned it into one of the Internet’s hottest companies, Twitter’s growth has slowed dramatically during the past year-and-half to leave the San Francisco-based firm scrambling to catch up with Facebook and its 1.5 billion users.
Twitter Inc’s malaise resulted in the departure of Dick Costolo as the company’s CEO last July and ushered in the return of Dorsey, who had been ousted as the company’s leader in 2008.
Dorsey helped invent Twitter in 2006 and imposed a 140-character limit on messages so the service would be easy to use on cellphones that had 160-character limits on texts at that time. Twitter may expand beyond its 140 character tweets to make its service more alluring.
