Rishi Jaitly, Vice-President, Asia Pacific & Middle East North Africa, Twitter, has called it a day after a four-year stint with the microblogging site. He was leading the Twitter teams across Asia Pacific and the Middle East, driving strategic partnerships with news, government, entertainment, sports, TV industries, and others in the mass/emerging media landscape. Jaitly took to Twitter to announce his move in a series of tweets.

Building/leading @TwitterIndia, and expanding @TwitterMedia across Asia Pacific & Middle East, was the leadership experience of a lifetime.
