Twitter appoints Adam Messinger as company’s new CTO

Twitter has appointed Adam Messinger, formerly the company’s VP of application development, as the new Twitter CTO, according to his Twitter profile and as reported by AllThingsD.

The company has been shaking up its leadership recently and making new appointments, having made Ali Rowghani the new chief operating officer and named Mike Gupta to chief financial officer position back in December.

Twitter has not yet responded with a comment on Messinger’s new role.

Messinger was previously Twitter’s VP for application development, and before that he was vice president for development at Oracle. Twitter has had a decent run lately on the infrastructure side with its uptime, but is rolling out a number of new product features as it gears up for stronger monetization efforts and a potential upcoming IPO
