Photos of Twitter Product Head Kayvon Beykpour in San Francisco
Kayvon co-founded Periscope, a live video platform where people can create, watch, discover and share live video, which was acquired by Twitter in 2015. Prior to Periscope, he co-founded Terriblyclever Design LLC, a software company that was sold to Blackboard Inc. Following the acquisition, Kayvon led Blackboard’s mobile division for four years where he grew its team from five to more than 100 employees and helped the company become one of the most downloaded apps in the education industry. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced the leadership change internally in an email, which he subsequently shared publicly on Twitter. In it, Dorsey said that the new structure would help the company to be more agile, help with decision-making processes, and “foster stronger culture.”
