this sounds rough:
Last week, he named Twitter’s fifth head of product in as many years. Its
most recent vice president of product, Daniel Graf, who came from Google
Maps and was handpicked by Mr. Costolo, lasted less than six months in the
post.
What was Daniel supposed to accomplish in 6 months? That's barely 1-2 months of strategizing then a 3 month dev cycle worth of work...
- jonnathanson 12y agoSix months is hardly a fair shake for anyone, let alone someone in such a crucial role. That said, six months is two quarters on Wall Street's clock. That can feel like a lifetime for an embattled CEO. When CEOs come under fire from investors, they like to shuffle around the executive deck.
