Jack Dorsey Stepping Down as Twitter CEO
Category: Tech News
Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s chief technology officer, will take over from Jack
Dorsey at the helm, the company said Monday.
This followed the resignation of Dorsey, the co-founder and long reigning CEO.
Dorsey, 45, was serving as both the CEO of Twitter and Square, his digital payments company.
Dorsey will remain a member of the Board until his term expires at the 2022 meeting of stockholders, the company said.
Salesforce President and COO Bret Taylor will become the Chairman of the Board, replacing Patrick Pichette, a former Google executive, who will remain on the board as chair of the Audit committee.
“I’ve decided to leave Twitter because I believe the company is ready to move on from its founders,” Dorsey said in a statement.
