Mark Little, the founder of News Corp owned social news agency Storyful, has been hired as a senior executive across Twitter’s international operation.
Little, who sold Dublin-based Storyful to News Corp for £15m in December 2013, left in June after just 18 months saying it’s best to “quit while you’re ahead”.
Twitter has been my passion for years. Now, it's my job. So excited to join @KatieS and the inspirational Twitter media team.
