"After six years and a once-in-a-lifetime run, I let CEO Jack (Dorsey) know that I am ready to change gears and do something new outside the company," Bain tweeted.

Bain will "will remain at Twitter in the coming weeks" to help transition his job responsibilities to Noto, Re/Code reported on Thursday.

Bain has been credited with building Twitter's entire multi-billion dollar advertising business.
