Good to know. I knew Parag (the CEO) a bit from college (we both graduated the same year) and he was a very nice, humble and ridiculously sharp guy. Not at all surprised to see him rise to CEO and honestly, it feels like a much much better pick than your traditional MBA old-boys-club career CEO. Time will tell but I found it refreshing to see someone immensely technical (Parag won Gold in the international Physics Olympiad as a high schooler) being promoted from within and making it all the way to the top.

It's infuriating how information about his track record is less saught for and discussed publicly.

With what you've just added about Parag, I now see him as someone mistakenly judged, someone who's not given a chance or the benefit of doubt. Can't wait to marvel at the good decisions this stellar and technically-fit person will take as Twitter CEO.

Jack Dorsey may have selected the most logical executive in the board room with a decade's worth of familiarity with the company and its products.
