“It’s over”: Damien Viel, general director of Twitter France, announced that he was leaving his post on the social network, without specifying whether this departure was his decision or not, after “seven incredible and intense years”.
global wave of layoffs
His previous message dated from November 4 when Twitter, acquired shortly before by Elon Musk, launched a global wave of layoffs. “All my thoughts, respect, energy and love to Twitter users (Twitter employee nickname, editor’s note) around the world today. Together we have built the most amazing app on the planet,” he wrote as well.
This departure occurs when the future of the social network with the blue bird seems very uncertain after a week as turbulent as the previous ones, between new bleeding of the staff and the restoration of Donald Trump’s account, a source of controversy.
Before being appointed CEO of Twitter France in 2015, Damien Viel was YouTube’s sales manager for Southern Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Damien Viel had started in the marketing department at L’Oréal, then notably led the advertising agency Carat France before becoming deputy director of advertising at M6, the advertising agency of the M6 group.
