AdvertisingTwitter 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:
I'm excited to jump back in as Senior Director of Corp Dev & Strategy. Most of all, I couldn't be more proud to work w/ this team (again).
