Twitter recruits former Goldman Sachs banker Anthony Noto as finance chief
Anthony Noto, the former Goldman Sachs banker who worked on Twitter’s IPO, has been recruited as the social network’s chief financial officer.
The 46 year-old replaces Mike Gupta, who becomes senior vice president of strategic investments in a reshuffle designed to allay fears caused by a slowdown in user growth.
Both execs announced their moves on Twitter along with CEO Dick Costolo.
