After Being Fired, Twitter CFO Ned Segal Changes His Bio, Says “Current Fan Of Twitter”
Billionaire Elon Musk completed the Twitter takeover battle and became the head of the social media platform whose “tremendous potential” he has promised to unleash. Soon after, he fired Twitter chief executive Parag Agrawal, chief financial officer Ned Segal and head of legal affairs Vijaya Gadde, according to several US media outlets.
Recently, the former financial officer changed his bio on the social media platform. It now reads, “Former CFO and current fan of @Twitter, dad, husband, proud San Franciscan, Giants fan, chocolate chip cookie connoisseur. He / him”
In a long thread shared on Twitter, Mr Segal wrote, “Thursday concluded 5 years @twitter. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked with such an incredible group of people building the world’s town square for all of our stakeholders. The work isn’t complete, but we made meaningful progress.”
He added that he has great hope for the company and the last six months have been very challenging and unpredictable. Mr Segal continued, “The past 6 months have pulled on every mental muscle I’ve developed in 48 years. You learn so much when times are challenging and unpredictable, when we are tired or feel our integrity questioned. Our team remained kind, respectful, and steadfast. They’re lifelong friends.”
“I have great hope for @twitter. At its best, it democratizes communication and knowledge, ensuring accountability and equal distribution of info. It’s a huge responsibility for everyone that shares in the work. I wish them strength, wisdom, and foresight,” the former Chief Financial Officer of the social media platform added.
