Three months after Dick Costolo stepped down as Twitter CEO, company co-founder Jack Dorsey looks set to be named as his replacement.
Dorsey's been running the show as interim CEO since Costolo left at the start of July , with Re/code  reporting he could be announced as Twitter's new boss as early as today.
It seems evident, however, that during his time as interim CEO, Dorsey has managed to convince both the board and investors that he's the right man for the job, and as a result could be named as Costolo's permanent replacement in the coming days.
The challenges for Dorsey, if he is appointed, are clearly huge, though the board appears to believe he has the ideas and ability to take the microblogging platform to a whole new audience, increasing revenue and pleasing investors in the process.
