SAN FRANCISCO: Twitter Chief technology Adam Messinger said he is leaving the company and adding to a roster of exiting executives at the one-to-many messaging service.
Messinger had been with Twitter for five years, most recently heading engineering and products.
“I’ve decided to leave Twitter and take some time off,” Messinger said in a tweet, not specifying his plans for the future.
Twitter vice president of product Josh McFarland also put out word on Tuesday that he is leaving the company, with plans to join Greylock Partners venture capital firm in Silicon Valley.
San Francisco-based Twitter has been striving to boost its ranks of users and revenue.
In an email reply to an AFP inquiry, Twitter said it is “taking steps to streamline and flatten the organization by elevating our engineering, product and design functions, with each area now reporting directly to” co-founder and chief executive Jack Dorsey.
