Twitter's new CEO announces major reorganization of the social networking company
Source: Washington Post
Twitter’s new CEO, Parag Agrawal, announced a major reorganization of the company Friday, putting his stamp on the organization following the sudden departure of co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey earlier this week.The shake-up, meant to streamline the company’s operations and accelerate its growth, will bring together employees previously divided by job function — such as engineering, design, and product development — on teams organized by what they’re working on, such as consumer product, revenue, and core tech.
Two executives, head of engineering Michael Montano and Dantley Davis, will step down as part of the reshuffling and leave the company by year’s end. In a companywide email obtained by The Washington Post, Agrawal said that he will focus on “clear decision-making, increased accountability, and faster execution,” and said he was “making a number of organizational and leadership changes to best position us to achieve our goals. … We’ve all discussed the critical need for more operational rigor and it must start from the top.”
Twitter subsequently confirmed the moves, and it reported them to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in a filing.The reorganization is the first clear sign that Twitter’s new leader intends to overhaul a culture that has been considered slow to innovate and mired in internal conflict. Dorsey, who announced his resignation from Twitter unexpectedly on Monday, was viewed by many as a hands-off leader and had faced pressure to resign from investors.
Agrawal, 37, was chosen unanimously to succeed Dorsey by Twitter’s board of directors, according to an official statement Monday. At Tuesday’s all-hands meeting, according to employees who attended, Dorsey emphasized Agrawal’s engineering background and the fact that he rose through the ranks over a decade at Twitter in touting him as the ideal choice to lead the influential social media firm. He is tasked with making Twitter a faster-paced company but will also face intense scrutiny from lawmakers intent on regulating social media.

If he is a "techie" I expect the business folks to run all over him.
= new reply since forum marked as read
and hasn't done so... at least yet. 
And it's still as noisy and busy and cluttered as I remembered it back in the day that caused me to flee to Google's "plain white page with just a search box and their name" search engine.
