Twitter hired a new head of strategy who left Twitter for Google Ventures only 5 months ago

Twitter has a new head of corporate development and strategy - and it's someone who left Twitter only 5 months ago. 

Jessica Verrilli, who left Twitter in May for Google Ventures, is returning to the company as Senior Director of Corporate Development and Strategy, she announced on Twitter on Thursday. Verilli previously worked in Twitter's corp dev and strategy group, though she was not leading it, as she will be now. 

Her return to Twitter represents a vote of confidence in the new management team led by CEO Jack Dorsey and newly-appointed President and COO Adam Bain.  

Here's what Verrilli said about the move:
