Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey is stepping down as chief of the social media company, effective immediately. Parag Agrawal, the company’s chief technology officer, will take over the helm, the company said Monday.
Twitter shares were up around 2% on the news.
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. Bret Taylor will become the Chairman of the Board.
“I’ve decided to leave Twitter because I believe the company is ready to move on from its founders,” Dorsey said in a statement, though he didn’t provide any additional detail on why he decided to resign.
Dorsey, who co-founded the social media giant in 2006, served as CEO until 2008 before being pushed out of the role. He returned to Twitter as boss in 2015 after former CEO Dick Costolo stepped down.

Fair. If you are CEO of two companies and they become competitive you should leave one of them.

Inače, svakome koga zanima istorija Twittera ili Web 2.0-a generalno ne mogu dovoljno da preporučim Hatching Twitter. (Fun fact, podnaslov knjige je "A True Story of Money, Power, Friendship, and Betrayal", i nije čist senzacionalizam.)
