Rowghani was previously the chief financial officer at Twitter, and he will now hold the role that Dick Costolo held before Costolo became CEO in 2010. Before joining Twitter, he was the CFO at Pixar. Gupta comes to Twitter from Zynga, where he was most recently chief financial officer there before leaving in November for Twitter.
The company has had a several changes and hires in key roles in the last year as the company has expanded in size and moved to new offices. The New York Times recently reported that Twitter is expected to make $ 1 billion in revenue next year, and the executive changes come as Twitter moves to monetize and solidify its position in the Valley.
