Ridgewood NJ, Parag Agrawal is taking over Twitter as CEO. Agrawal has been with the company for over a decade. One of his biggest projects with the company has been the decentralized Bluesky platform, which has picked up steam in the past few months. His years of experience with the company and work in helping modernize Twitter’s tech stack makes him an interesting choice for CEO.
Parag Agrawal has been with Twitter for over a decade, though, working his way up from an engineer to become its top executive (and a close friend of Dorsey’s). Agrawal first started at Twitter back in October 2011 with a focus on ad products, and he became the first recipient of the company’s “Distinguished Engineer” title. He was later appointed chief technology officer in October 2017, during which time he’s jumped in to address high-profile problems (like a large-scale password security issue) and take on some of the company’s bolder initiatives (like decentralization). But despite that long tenure, Agrawal, who is 37, hasn’t spent much time in the public eye — something that will immediately change with his new role.
One of Agrawal’s biggest projects has been his overseeing of the company’s decentralized Bluesky platform, which was first announced in December 2019. Intended as an “open and decentralized standard for social media” that Twitter itself could eventually transition to using, Bluesky has been one of the more dramatic ideas for Twitter’s future and a pet project of Dorsey’s.
Rumor has it that he is an even more committed believer in censorship than Dorsey……..
Meet the New Bos
Same as the Old Boss…
Notice how all these technology and social media companies high positions are being occupied by people who have nothing to do with American culture? This country is being peacefully invaded by foreigners. They are supposed to tell us what to say and what not to say and how to behave otherwise they simply cut our voice. Sad. It will only get worse. I have lived these times in my youth years. This guy will be worse than that previous hobo looking one.
