Bruce Daisley quits Twitter as EMEA vice-president
After eight years, Bruce Daisley, Twitter’s most senior executive in London, has quit as vice-president of Europe, the Middle East and Africa after eight years at the social media company.
Daisley, who is 48 and British, joined from Google’s YouTube in 2012 and was instrumental in building Twitter’s presence as its UK managing director and then vice president of EMEA.
“This week I reached a milestone of 8 years at Twitter,” Daisley wrote. “I decided it’s time for a change… so today was my last day.
“I feel so lucky to have worked on a product I love with the best people in the world. What an honour,” he said.
His resignation was announced officially in a series of tweets, and came as a surprise on the first Monday of the New Year when many people were returning to work after the Christmas break.
Daisley continued: “I’m going to take some time off. My book is out in paperback [in the UK] next week, and out in February (called Eat Sleep Work Repeat) in the US.
“If anyone is doing anything to fight climate change and wants someone to help them for free PLEASE hit me up.”
Daisley, a former Emap executive, has appeared to look beyond Twitter in recent years as he has carved out a sideline as an author and speaker on workplace culture.
Twitter has not immediately lined up a successor to Daisley.
