Rishi Garg, who led Twitter’s mergers and acquisitions team, is departing the company after just one year. Garg, who joined Twitter from a similar role at Square, announced in a tweet Friday afternoon that he was leaving, but didn’t specify where he’s headed next. His one year at Twitter was a busy one; Garg wrote that the company made a dozen acquisitions during his time leading the team. It’s the second departure from Twitter’s M&A team in the past month — longtime director Jessica Verilli took a role at Google Ventures late last month. Twitter has not publicly named a replacement for Garg.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
