Twitter is shaking up its top leadership. The first move came as consumer product leader Kayvon Beykpour announced on Twitter<\/a> that current CEO Parag Agrawal<\/a> \u201casked me to leave after letting me know that he wants to take the team in a different direction.\u201d <\/p>\n

Bruce Falck, the general manager of revenue and head of product for its business side, confirmed in a (now deleted) tweet<\/a> that he was also fired by Agrawal. <\/p>\n

In an unexpected turn, on Thursday evening Parag Agrawal himself responded<\/a> to both<\/a> threads, thanking the men he\u2019d fired and expressing admiration for their work. <\/p>\n

\n
\n

You\u2019ve had such a huge impact. I have so much respect and admiration for what you have accomplished and am so glad I got to work closely with you all these years.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Parag Agrawal (@paraga) May 12, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Thanks for everything you have done for Twitter – your impact will be felt for a long time, by many people. On a personal note, it has been so great to see how you have always led with your heart, with relentless focus, and a deep care for our teams.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Parag Agrawal (@paraga) May 13, 2022<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Now Jay Sullivan, who we spoke to in March<\/a> about Twitter\u2019s plans to add 100 million daily users, will take over as both the head of product and interim head of revenue. These moves are occurring at the same time Elon Musk moves forward with his $44 billion purchase<\/a> of Twitter, although he hasn\u2019t taken ownership of the company yet.<\/p>\n

In a memo to employees obtained by The Verge<\/em><\/a>, Agrawal wrote, \u201cAt the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, the decision was made to invest aggressively to deliver big growth in audience and revenue, and as a company we did not hit intermediate milestones that enable confidence in these goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twitter spokesperson Adrian Zamora confirmed the changes, saying in a statement to The Verge<\/em>, \u201cWe can confirm that Kayvon Beykpour and Bruce Falck are leaving Twitter. Jay Sullivan is the new GM of Bluebird and interim GM of Goldbird. Effective this week, we are pausing most hiring and backfills, except for business critical roles. We are pulling back on non-labor costs to ensure we are being responsible and efficient.\u201d<\/p>\n

As its product leader and, most recently, GM of consumer, Beykpour has led the development of many of its biggest features and design changes over the last several years. It\u2019s a surprising change: Agrawal just reorganized his executive team a few months ago<\/a> with the exit of Twitter\u2019s design and engineering leads, leaving Beykpour at the top of consumer products. <\/p>\n

The truth is that this isn\u2019t how and when I imagined leaving Twitter, and this wasn\u2019t my decision. Parag asked me to leave after letting me know that he wants to take the team in a different direction.<\/p>\n
