Who is on the Twitter Board?
We can see some prominent members of Twitter‘s board. They include Jack Dorsey, Egon Durban, Neel Agrawal, and Sujata Alemayehou. However, who is the real face of Twitter? Read on to find out more about these prominent individuals. In this article, we will briefly discuss their background and current work. To understand what makes them so influential, we will look at their social media activities and the types of content they post on Twitter.
Jack Dorsey
After resigning from his seat on the Twitter board, CEO Jack Dorsey has faced criticism from his former colleagues. Former director Jason Goldman said that Dorsey allegedly “backstabbed” the board, advising Elon Musk to buy Twitter. On the same subject : How to Delete a Follower on Twitter. Musk subsequently rejected the offer, and Dorsey has since been under fire. However, he has defended himself and said that he is not spending any time on Twitter’s acquisition.
The founders of a tech company should never continue to run it. If the founders are still involved, they can become single points of failure and hinder growth. The founders of Twitter should be replaced by other people. This is true for the company’s culture, too. Jack Dorsey, for instance, was the CEO of Square, a digital payments company he co-founded in 2006.
Egon Durban
As a director on many public companies, Egon Durban has been a controversial figure in tech. Several shareholders have raised concerns about his commitment to the board and voted against his reappointment. To see also : Choosing a Memorable and Easy to Remember Twitter Username. But the Twitter board believes that his other directorships won’t be a hindrance to his work for the company. A regulatory filing from Twitter on May 27 indicates that the company and Durban have come to an agreement to reduce his board commitments.
While it’s unlikely that Durban will remain on the Twitter board, he has close ties to Elon Musk. His co-CEO at Silver Lake, Egon Durban, has worked with Musk on several major equity deals. Durban was also involved in the abortive Tesla private deal last year. That makes Durban an important ally of Musk. Durban was a major reason why former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey left the board. He’ll now focus on his company Block.
Neel Agrawal
Elon Musk has left the Twitter board, replacing him with fellow Tesla CEO Neel Agrawal. Though Musk did not say why he was leaving, he has expressed concerns about free speech and censorship on Twitter, which led Bernstein analysts to believe that his interest was personal.

While Musk has not publicly discussed his decision, the board continues to be open and democratic, and the company remains focused on its mission and goals.
After a background check and confirmation from Musk, the company revealed that it would not appoint Musk to its board. Musk has a 9.2 percent stake in Twitter. Musk’s remarks address a longstanding issue regarding spam accounts and the lack of trust Twitter users have for executives. Musk also suggested turning the company’s headquarters into a homeless shelter, seemingly a reference to the company’s indefinite remote work policy.
Sujata Alemayehou
Mimi Alemayehou, a 20-year investment veteran with an expertise in Africa, has been appointed to the Twitter board. She replaces Elliott Management partner Jesse Cohn, who will step down as a director. Elliott Management is one of Twitter’s 20 largest investors. Twitter has welcomed Alemayehou to its board, and the firm plans to continue engaging with the management and board.
Mimi Alemayehou, who joined Twitter in 2011, has worked in the public and private sectors. She was previously the Managing Director of Black Rhino Group, a portfolio company of Blackstone, where she focused on acquiring energy assets in Africa. She was also appointed Executive Vice President of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) during her tenure there. Under her leadership, OPIC’s portfolio of African investments tripled in value, and its global investment portfolio reached $18 billion.
