Here are all the Twitter execs who have left during the comeback effort by Alexei Oreskovic on Jan 26, 2016, 2:49 PM  Twitter is a company in a seemingly never-ending state of turmoil and change.
In the past six years alone, Twitter has had three CEOs, six heads of product, and three CFOs. Executive shake-ups, boardroom coups, and big reorganizations have become nearly as synonymous with the San Francisco internet company as its trademark 140-character tweets. And with Twitter's user growth stalling and its stock trading near all-time lows, the company is now undergoing yet another wrenching period of upheaval. This week, five of Twitter's top executives left the company. They are the latest in a staggering list of executives that have cycled through the company in recent years. Here is a run down of some of the most notable departures at Twitter in recent years: SEE ALSO: The rise and fall of Marissa Mayer, the once beloved CEO of Yahoo Evan Williams, one of Twitter's founders, was CEO from 2008 to 2010, helping the company navigate through its early growth years. Williams was replaced by Dick Costolo, who he had hired to be COO in 2010. He now oversees the online publishing platform Medium, but remains a director on Twitter's board. 
Ali Rowghani, a former Pixar executive, rose to the No.2 spot at Twitter, serving as COO from 2012 to 2014. He was once viewed as the company's CEO-in-waiting, but his relationship with then-CEO Dick Costolo soured after the two clashed over management issues and Rowghani eventually left the company. 
Chris Fry, who was Twitter's SVP of Engineering, had the distinction of getting one of the company's richest compensation packages, with his $10.3 million total package second-only to that of the CEO when Twitter went public in 2013. An early Salesforce employee with numerous patents to his name, Fry had only been at Twitter one year at the time of the IPO and was gone seven months later.
