Re:Jeff Lawson Steps Down as CEO of Twilio on Monday January 08, 2024 @11:16AM (#38914162)
It's also why George Hu left Twilio.

Because Jeff wanted to be a celebrity CEO, and it was to the detriment of the company.

All of Twilio's growth (as a public company) happened on George's watch.

I don't think it's a coincidence that well after George left, on Jeff's watch - they had to do 3 different layoff for a total of ~24% of their entire public company being let go.

Note: former senior level Twilio employee, posted anonymous for obvious reasons.
