Brands Aren't Paying Twitter What The Company Expected And It's Killing The Stock Price Speaking to CNBC's Julia Boorstin, Twitter's CEO Jack Dorsey insisted he can turn his company around by focusing on a solid game plan. Dorsey said that Twitter has made some "pretty big changes" over the past 6 months, including Moments and Periscope. He added that a redesigned timeline has been a change that the company has been planning to do for quite some time and it is now showing some "pretty significant" and "positive" signs, including more re-Tweets. Moving on to Twitter's recent deal with the National Football League, Dorsey didn't acknowledge what impact is expected, but did say it serves as a sign of the company's full potential.

"It's not just about football, it's not just about sports, we can do this around live venues, around elections, debates."
