杰克重返Twitter
????“今天,我重返Twitter,作為執行董事長,領導產品業務,感到很興奮。不錯,我同時還會永遠擔任Square公司的首席執行官。” ????多爾西宣布擔任Twitter執行董事長的這條帖子最引人注意的一點是,他并不是去擔任首席執行官。該職務現由前Feedburner公司的老板迪克?科斯托羅擔任。之前已經有人猜測,多爾西重返Twitter,有可能將科斯托羅排擠到其他位置,盡管從沒人真正說明,那會是個什么職位。 ????另外,多爾西重申他將繼續領導Square公司,也勢必平撫了一些風險資本機構的擔憂,因為他們已經向這家致力于移動付費業務的初創公司投入了3,700多萬美元。這些風險資本機構包括:首輪資本公司(First Round Capital)、Kleiner Perkins、科斯拉風險投資公司(Khosla Ventures)以及紅杉資本公司(Sequoia Capital)。 ????Twitter也在一份正式聲明中表示: ????Tiwtter高興地宣布,杰克?多爾西已經同意重返Twitter,參與公司日常業務,并領導我們的產品開發部門。同時,杰克將繼續擔任Square公司的首席執行官。 ????伊萬?威廉姆斯、比茲?斯通以及杰克這三名Twitter的聯合創始人,都做到了慷慨無私,及時站到公司最需要他們的崗位上,幫助公司成長,或者幫助公司的產品發揮最大潛力。從Twitter創建之日起,杰克曾在多個崗位上為之效力。 ????作為執行董事長,杰克將與450多人一同工作。這些人由一支經驗豐富的高管團隊領導。而且,杰克重返公司的時間也恰到好處:眼下Twitter不僅發展速度之快創下歷史記錄,而且現在我們還擁有全新的基礎設施,因此,我們能夠始終走在發展前列,不斷發布領先的產品,做到更為迅速、簡潔而且永不落伍。 ????譯者:大海 |
????Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey today confirmed rampant speculation that he is returning to the micro-messaging service. Not surprisingly, he did so via a tweet: ????Today I'm thrilled to get back to work at @Twitter leading product as Executive Chairman. And yes: leading @Square forevermore as CEO. #200% ????The executive chairman post is particularly notable for what it isn't: Chief executive, a role currently held by ex-Feedburner boss Dick Costolo. Some speculation had been that Dorsey would push Costolo into some other position, although it never was really explained what that position would be. ????Also, the reiteration of Dorsey's commitment to Square must soothe some nerves among the VCs who have plugged over $37 million into the mobile payment startup. Those firms include First Round Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures and Sequoia Capital. ????Twitter said the following in an official statement: ????Twitter is pleased to announce that Jack Dorsey has agreed to return to Twitter in an everyday role to lead our product development. Jack will also continue in his role as CEO at Square. ????Twitter's three co-founders --Ev Williams, Biz Stone and Jack-- have unselfishly played whatever role was most needed at the time to nurture the company and help the product reach its full potential. Jack has been involved with the company from day one in various roles. ????As executive chairman, Jack will dive in to work with more than 450 people, led by an experienced executive team. The timing is fortuitous; not only is Twitter experiencing record growth, but we also now have a new infrastructure that will keep us ahead of that growth and enable us to launch products that will make Twitter more instant, simple and always present. |
