One of Twitter’s cofounders is taking a major step back from the company: Ev Williams is leaving the company’s board.
“It’s been an incredible 13 years, and I’m proud of what Twitter has accomplished during my time with the company. I will continue rooting for the team as I focus my time on other projects,” Williams said in a statement in an SEC filing announcing his departure from the board.
Thank you, @jack and @biz for starting this crazy company with me—and continuing to make it better and better. And to my fellow board members, new and old—some of the most thoughtful people I’ve ever known.

I’m going to ride off into the sunset (or…down Market Street), so I can focus on some other things. I will always be rooting for the team (and, if someone lets me in, come by for lunch).

Exactly what those “other projects” are, is unclear. Williams is CEO of publishing platform Medium, which he founded in 2012. Williams has recently discussed acquiring New York Magazine and “other media properties,” Bloomberg reported in December, saying the talks were “unlikely to progress.”
“I’m going to ride off into the sunset (or … down Market Street), so I can focus on some other things,” Williams said on Twitter.
I appreciate you, Ev! You’re the reason I joined Odeo in the first place. I’ve learned so much from you since that crazy interview you and @Noah put me through. We’re going to miss your voice in our board conversations. ❤️ https://t.co/27pxrieh9S

After 12 years, the incomparable @ev has left the Twitter board. He got me a job at Google in 2003 and changed my life forever. He’s a mentor, an inspiration, and a friend. pic.twitter.com/XA0x52ygKC

Twitter has not yet commented on who may replace Williams on the board. But Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and fellow cofounder Biz Stone wished Williams well.
