Former Twitter Australia managing director Karen Stocks returns to Google

Karen Stocks, former managing director of Twitter in Australia who joined the social media platform from Google, is set to return to her former employer as Google’s global director of measurement solutions based in the US.

Stocks departed Twitter in November last year

Stocks, who began her career at Vodafone where she rose to become general manager of service strategy, first joined Google in 2007 as online sales and operations manager before being named director of products and solutions.

Speaking about her decision to rejoin Google after three years at the helm of Twitter’s Australian operations, Stocks said the new role would offer fresh challenges.
