Twitter ends support for Mac desktop app

Amid its sterile attempt to attract any buyout offer, Twitter is having a difficult time retaining its top executives. Maintaining the long string of high-profile exits, Twitter's vice president of diversity and inclusion, Jeffrey Siminoff, is leaving at the end of the month, whereas the head of human resources Renee Atwood has already left.

Advertisment

Atwood joined Twitter in August 2016 from Uber, where she was global head of people and places. A Twitter spokesperson confirmed the report to TechCrunch and said, “Renee has left the company for personal reasons. We thank her for her contributions during her time at Twitter and wish her all the best in the future.”

Jeffrey Siminoff, former director of global inclusion and diversity at Apple, joined Twitter in December 2015. At the hiring announcement, though, many were doubtful about Twitter's decision to hire a white man to lead the diversity and inclusion.

Twitter recently published its 2016 diversity report, noting the progress made for underrepresented minorities and "improving things like parental leave and is building a culture of inclusion." The numbers, however, are still weak as its workforce is made up of 37 percent women and 11 percent underrepresented minorities. In technical roles, it is 15 percent women and 9 percent underrepresented minorities.

In November 2016, Adam Bain, Twitter's then COO left the company after a tenure of six years. The very next month, Twitter CTO Adam Messinger and VP of product Josh McFarland left the company. Looks like all is not well at the social media firm.
