Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal says two leaders will depart company, hiring paused

Twitter Chief Executive Parag Agrawal announced in an email to employees on Thursday, which was seen Reuters, that the company’s leaders for the consumer division and revenue will depart the social media company.

Bruce Falck, who leads revenue product at Twitter, will leave after five years at the company. In a tweet on Thursday, Falck thanked his team and partners at Twitter.
“We were able to achieve the results we did through your hard work – – quarterly revenue does not lie. Google it,” he tweeted.
