Two Twitter top executives set to resign

Two of Twitter's top executives are set to resign, as the social media giant reshuffles its management pack.

Jeremy Gordon, who has been with the firm as vice president of engineering for two years and Adam Kinney, a four-year veteran in charge the company's analytics group, are set to leave, according to a report by CNBC.

The departures come at a time when investors look at Twitter for stability, while the firm's internal politics have come under scrutiny for not being entirely settled.

Gordon and Kinney are known within Twitter to be valuable contributors to the product development process, the report adds, with Gordon having been a director of mobile engineering until he was promoted 12 months ago, before becoming vice president in April.

Some engineers at Twitter are worried that the company's product vision is not clear enough, according to sources cited by CNBC.

"The team that I have in place and the strategy that we have, we love, and we all believe in it," group chief executive Dick Costolo was quoted as saying earlier this week, but some in the engineering organization are not clear about where Costolo and engineering executive Alex Roetter are targeting.

On Monday, the form revealed that monthly active users grew to 284m, up 13 million from the previous quarter before, as Costolo told investors that Twitter's "pace of execution" needed to increase in order to allow the company to launch products and improve them faster.

"I'm really talking about faster iteration from hypothesis, to prototyping against that hypothesis, to experimenting against that prototype, to launching against that experiment and then iterating across that cycle," he said.
