Jack Dorsey has shared his resignation on Twitter. He has described this as the ‘right time’ to resign from the company. For this he has mentioned three reasons.
Dorsey has written – The first reason is that Parag is becoming the new CEO of the company. The board followed a lengthy process for the new CEO and everyone unanimously chose Parag Agarwal. Parag has also been my favorite because of his understanding of the company. Parag has been instrumental behind every difficult decision and that is why the company stands here today. Dorsey has praised Parag Agarwal with a free voice.
Dorsey has given another reason – Bret Taylor’s decision to become board chairman is also an important reason. When I became CEO, Brett was asked to join the board. He has been the best for the company in every way.
At the same time, Dorsey has given a third reason – all this was possible because of you people. There is a lot of potential and ambition in our team. This can be understood with the example of Parag. He had joined the company as an engineer and now he is our CEO. This makes me feel proud. I know Parag will use your abilities in the right way.
