Twitter’s newly installed CEO Parag Agrawal has announced a significant corporate reshuffling, saying several high-level executives will depart from the company by the end of the year, soon after taking the reins from Jack Dorsey. On taking over the reins from Jack Dorsey, Twitter’s incoming CEO, Parag Agrawal, has announced a significant corporate reshuffle, saying several high-level executives would be leaving the company at or before the end of the year.
Three senior execs – head of engineering Michael Montano, chief design officer Dantley Davis and “head of people” Jennifer Christie – will step down sometime before 2022, the Washington Post reported on Friday, citing company sources and an email to employees from Agrawal. The reshuffle was motivated, in part, by the new CEO’s desire for “operational excellence,” the outlet added.

As design lead, Davis reportedly created some friction in the workplace, with the New York Times describing a “tough love” approach that didn’t always go over well with co-workers. A spokesperson for Twitter told TechCrunch that his departure was driven by a desire to shift the firm’s model “around a structure that has one lead manager supporting a key company objective.” As design lead, Davis reportedly created some friction in the workplace, with the New York Times describing a “tough love” approach that didn’t always go over well with co-workers.

Dorsey, a Twitter co-founder, announced his resignation somewhat abruptly on Monday, passing the chief executive spot to Agrawal, who had previously served as the company’s top technical officer since 2017. He noted that he would remain on Twitter’s board of directors until “May-ish” to help the new CEO learn the role, and argued that, in order to grow, the platform should not be permanently bound to its original creators.

Agrawal, like Dorsey before him, has already garnered a significant crowd of detractors, amid concerns he will push the company in a more censorious direction. Elon Musk, among the CEO’s most high-profile critics, even jokingly compared him to Stalin amid rumors that Dorsey may have been under pressure to resign, while American conservatives dug up some of Agrawal’s old tweets, blasting them as racist and anti-religion.
