    Twitter ad sales chief Sarah Personette quits

    Mumbai: Twitter ad sales chief and chief customer officer Sarah Personette has resigned.  She tweeted about it on Tuesday mentioning that her last day in the company was last week.

    In her tweet she mentions, “Hi folks, I wanted to share that I resigned on Friday from Twitter and my work access was officially cut off last night.”

    This move of hers is followed by the firing of CEO Parag Agrawal, chief financial officer Ned Segal and head of legal & policy Vijaya Gadde, when Elon Musk came on board.

    After showing Agrawal out of the door, Musk has roped in Sriram Krishnan – another Indian-origin man, who is assisting him with the refurbishment of Twitter. Krishnan’s tech career started in Microsoft in 2005.

    With the kind of senior executive churn that the social media company is undergoing, one tends to wonder what could actually be on Musk’s mind and how matters will take shape for it.
