Parag was both a friend and a colleague of Dorsey and received fulsome praise from the departing CEO who reposed full faith in Agrawal's leadership at Twitter. Agrawal has been with Twitter for 10 years now. He started as an engineer and worked his way up to chief technology officer's designation and is now the chief executive officer there. His decade's worth of service has seen Agrawal being put in charge of a number of prestigious projects. The notable part is that these projects will be critical to Twitter's growth going forward. Significantly, by being named to lead Twitter, Agrawal has beaten Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg in one aspect. Parag Agrawal has become the youngest CEO in the S&P 500 currently. The difference, however, was not much. Parag beat Zuckerberg by the proverbial skin of his teeth. Parag Agrawal, aged 37, is the same age as Zuckerberg. However, his exact date of birth has not been divulged by Twitter because of security fears. But the company nevertheless, let it be known that Agrawal's birth date is later than that of Zuckerberg, who was born on May 14, 1984, Bloomberg reports. Notably, Parag Agrawal, joined Twitter back in 2011. At 45, Jack Dorsey, was already in the youngest CEOs list in the S&P 500 club. Also read click here.
