How I’d Save Twitter If I Was Hired as CEO!

I love twitter as it has changed my life both professionally and personally. But I believe that they are lost in a fight to satisfy Wall Street, decide if they want to be more Facebook than Twitter and they’ve become too disconnected from the user community they hope to serve.

This week @Jack was added as CEO which I loved to hear and then they released a new feature called Moments that improves content discovery and content trends within Twitter. With all that being said I’ve half jokingly said for months that I felt I would make a great Twitter CEO as I’m a guy with a technology background, power user of twitter, experience implementing change in enterprise companies as well as startups and most of all….

I LOVE and believe in the power of twitter to change the world!

Here is the Periscope Video I did today breaking down each of the things I would fix if I was given the job of Twitter CEO or even Periscope Evangelist.
