Keep in mind Jack Dorsey the interim CEO, so it's only temporary until they find a permanent CEO.
- austenallred 11y agoJack is a wild card. They'll give him a shot and see how it goes. If it goes well they can pull an Apple and say, "The founder is finally coming back!" If not they can quietly find a replacement and say, "Now Jack is going back to Square, just like they said he always would." It's PR insurance, basically, which Twitter desperately needs considering they go through CEOs faster than I go through freelancers.
- jusben1369 11y agoI don't think he can do that to Square and their investors as nice as the story sounds.
- JonFish85 11y agoDo what, leave them? Or return to them after this?
- jusben1369 11y agoSpend any real significant time with split duties. Most of his investors would say "We didn't put $x in this with the understanding that you were going to be a 50% CEO/leader"
- up_and_up 11y agoHe has ran both companies simultaneously in the past via 16 hour work days: http://thenextweb.com/entrepreneur/2011/11/14/jack-dorsey-does-8-hours-at-twitter-8-hours-at-square-daily/ http://thenextweb.com/entrepreneur/2011/11/14/jack-dorsey-do...
- untog 11y agoWhich is insane, and not sustainable.
- austenallred 11y agoHow do you know? Plenty of people work 16 hour days. Of course, it's not for everyone, but it's tough to say what's sustainable for someone else.
- untog 11y agoWell, sure. All I know is that if I was an investor in Twitter I would not be happy with it.
- owens99 11y agoDon't believe everything you read.
- jusben1369 11y agoHe wasnt CEO at both though
- foobarqux 11y agoHe'd probably rather run Twitter if forced to choose.
- waterlesscloud 11y agoEllen Pao is the interim CEO of Reddit. Interim CEO is still CEO, you still have the power of the job.
