Senior Indian-origin Twitter executive Sandeep Pandey, vice president of engineering, is leaving the Parag Agarwal-led platform after more than a decade to join Meta (formerly Facebook).
According to an Insider report, Pandey, who joined Twitter in 2012, will work on Meta’s artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning teams.
Pandey leads the Central Machine Learning, Data Science and Data Platform at Twitter.
Studied at Carnegie Mellon University, he began his career at IBM India Research Lab and Google.
Later, Pandey worked as a research scientist at Yahoo before joining Twitter as a staff engineer.
According to a LinkedIn profile, he held various positions at Twitter, such as senior director of engineering, head of revenue science, and leading the brand and video team.
Twitter is seeing several high-profile exits after Tesla CEO Elon Musk Announced the acquisition of $44 billion, and then ended it on the actual number of bots on the platform.
These are Katrina Lane, former Vice President of Twitter Services; Ilya Brown, Vice President of Health; and Max Schmeizer, Head of Data Science.
Agarwal fired consumer product leader Kyvan Becpour and revenue product chief Bruce Falk in May, saying there is now a hiring freeze and Twitter will halt spending in most regions.
Twitter recently laid off 30 percent of its workforce from its talent acquisition team.
Twitter withheld most recruitment and backfill, except for business important roles set by ‘staff’ members.
