Michael Sippey, the VP of product is now planning for a shift, he will be moving to an advisory role before ultimately leaving the company. Sippey has mostly worked with start up companies, and two years ago before becoming a part of the Twitter family he was working at SAY Media.
According to Sippey, “I’ve spent most of my career working at startups, helping them scale and having a direct hand on the product,” now he wishes to move to a new startup and help it scale high. Further he also mentioned, “Over the past few weeks I’ve talked with Dick and Ali about what I want next in my career, and what Twitter needs at this stage of its life. And I’ve decided that it’s time for me to move on.”
The email that Sippey sent across to all Twitter employees before publishing it to his personal blog;
If on one hand we have a fully satisfied Sippey who feels his role in the company is done, there is also another story to it. Some sources reveal that Sippey’s exit from the company may be a result of dissatisfaction with Rowghani, who effectively became his new boss at the end of last year. Isaac also points to ongoing frustrations on the product team with Twitter’s slow pace of approving feature changes.
Though the product management at the social media microblogging website was going on well and users did witness a far better and a friendlier product, Michael Sippey will be out of Twitter soon enough.
