'He brings a principled, engaging and rigorous approach to the CFO role, with a track record of driving profitable growth.'
Segal will report directly to Mr. Dorsey and will oversee Twitter's finance, accounting, corporate development, corporate security, financial planning & analysis (FP&A), investor relations, real estate & workplace, internal audit, tax and treasury areas of the business.
The company also said that it will release its second-quarter earnings on July 27 before the market opens.
