Noto will take over the top spot at SoFi on March 1, 2018. At that time, board member Tom Hutton, who has been serving as interim CEO since SoFi co-founder Mike Cagney resigned from the financial-technology startup in September, will become its nonexecutive chairman.

 

Noto’s departure will leave a void at Twitter. Its chief, Jack Dorsey splits his time between the social-media company and Square Inc., the payments company he founded. Shares of Twitter fell 2.5% in morning trading.

“Anthony has been an incredible advocate for Twitter and a trusted partner to me and our leadership team,” CEO Jack Dorsey said in a statement.
