Twitter said on Thursday its product head, Ed Ho, would step down and named its live-streaming service Periscope’s former Chief Executive Officer Kayvon Beykpour as his replacement.
Ho, product head since December 2016, is stepping down for personal reasons and would stay on as an adviser, the social network said.
Earlier in the day, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced an organizational reshuffle.
“We’re reorganizing how Twitter is going to work together for the next decade,” Dorsey tweeted.
Twitter had acquired Periscope in early 2015.
Twitter is also working towards making the platform more transparent by launching 'Ads Transparency Centre.' This new feature lets users recognise politics related ads and it can also let one know the people behind the ad campaigns. The move came after the social media platform received intimidations from the US regulatory authorities warning it to make the platform more open.
Facebook is also working on the same lines in order to provide users with the facility to disclose political ads campaign and its organiser.
