Nikita Bier is stepping down as X's head of product after just over a year, transitioning to an advisor role. He claims nearly every aspect of X has been rebuilt during his tenure, including the timeline, Android app, chat, and notifications. Leadership will be handed to Benji Taylor for design, with iOS lead Jonah Katz and Mridul Singhai taking on additional roles.
Background
Nikita Bier joined X (formerly Twitter) as head of product in 2023 and was known for driving significant product overhauls. His departure comes shortly after Elon Musk consolidated SpaceX, X, and xAI into a publicly traded entity.
