Twitter’s controversial managing director for Greater China, Kathy Chen, has announced her departure from the company after just eight months in the job, the latest in a stream of senior executives to leave the social media group.
“I will take some time off to recharge, study about different cultures and then pursue more international business opportunities,” Ms Chen said in a tweet late on Saturday.
The US company has recently seen a string of high-profile departures. Adam Messinger, chief technology officer, announced his departure last month, weeks after Adam Bain, chief operating officer and the person credited with building up Twitter’s advertising and marketing operations, also said he was leaving.
