Twitter today is announcing that one of its longtime executives, Adam Bain, is stepping down from his post of chief operating officer. Anthony Noto, the company’s chief financial officer, will take over the COO responsibility on top of his current work while Twitter looks for a new CFO.
Bain joined Twitter from Fox Interactive Media in 2010. Noto arrived at Twitter in 2014 after working as co-head of global TMT investment banking at Goldman Sachs.

Bain sent his resignation on November 7 and will stick around to ease the transition in the coming weeks.

Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
