Twitter Hires Senior Google Ad Exec Richard Alfonsi; Long-Time Product Leader Elad Gil To Advisory Role

Twitter is still busy making changes to its senior management. Following up on product leader Satya Patel's departure earlier this week, we've learned of two other significant moves. The first supports the company's recent statements about its ad business growing faster than many observers had expected. Richard Alfonsi has been recruited from a senior sales position at Google to be Twitter's new vice president of global online sales. According to his LinkedIn bio, he was previously responsible for "driving global sales and business strategy across Google?s full Display Ads product set including the Google Display Network, buy-side advertiser platforms, sell-side publisher platforms, and the DoubleClick Ad Exchange."
