Twitter Appoints Nasr UK Managing Director

Twitter UK hired former Google executive Dara Nasr as its new managing director.

Nasr, who joined Twitter in 2012 initially running its sales operation, is currently UK sales director of the social media company.

He replaces Bruce Daisley, who was named vice-president of direct sales for Europe earlier this year.

At Google, Nasr was responsible for key agency relationships for YouTube and display advertising.

Twitter opened a UK office in 2011 and employs about 200 people.
