Twitter Inc's head of French operations, Damien Viel, said he was quitting the social media platform, whose new owner Elon Musk recently fired top executives and enforced steep job cuts at the company.
"It's over," Viel tweeted on Sunday, thanking his team in France, which he led for the last seven years.
Viel confirmed he was leaving Twitter in a separate message to Reuters.
He didn't elaborate on the circumstances of his departure and declined to say how many people Twitter employed in France either before or after Musk's takeover of the company last month.
