The executive shuffle continues at Twitter.
It’s now been a little over a month since the platform’s CEO, Dick Costolo, resigned from the job amid falling stocks and agitated shareholders. This week, the San Francisco-based social-media platform confirmed it’s also parted ways with its chief communications officer, Gabriel Stricker (pictured).
Twitter issued a statement on Stricker’s departure, highlighting a need to “show the world” the value of the company.
“Communications is a key component of that, and to help build toward a stronger future, we are looking now to shift our communications strategy and direction,” the statement reads.
The company is now on the hunt for new leadership, and thanked Stricker “for his contributions.”
Twitter co-founder and, now, interim CEO since Costolo’s departure Jack Dorsey issued the following Tweet:
Thank you Gabriel! You’re a true class act. https://t.co/TijWtgBF0H

Stricker, who came to Twitter from Google in 2012, responded with his own message.
Thank you @Twitter for an extraordinary ride. It continues to be much more than a company. #movement
