Twitter’s co-founder Evan Williams is stepping down from the business’s board of directors, he stated Friday.
“It’s been an incredible 13 years, and I’m proud of what Twitter has accomplished during my time with the company,” Williams stated in a declaration. “I will continue rooting for the team as I focus my time on other projects.”
Williams will leave at the end of the month, according to a filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. When asked to comment, a Twitter representative pointed to a tweet connecting to the regulative filing on Williams’ departure.
“I’m very lucky to have served on the Twitter board for 12 years (ever since there was a board),” Williams tweeted Friday. “It’s been overwhelmingly interesting, educational — and, at times, challenging.”
I’m extremely fortunate to have actually served on the @Twitter board for 12 years (since there was a board). It’s been extremely intriguing, academic—and, sometimes, challenging.
