Twitter expected to name Dorsey CEO
Jack Dorsey could be named Twitter's permanent CEO as early as today.
Dorsey took over as Twitter's interim CEO in July, replacing Dick Costolo. However according to reports the tech giant will end its three-month search for a replacement by naming Dorsey permanent chief.
If he is chosen as CEO, this will be his second reign at the company that he helped start in 2006. He was Twitter's original CEO until being cast aside in 2008 in a coup, The Telegraph reports.
