Twitter Decides to Make a Few Bucks, Hires Business Development Director

Twitter has hired Kevin Thau to become the company’s first business development director, as the updated position in Thau’s LinkedIn profile attests. They have lured him away from Buzzwire, where he served as Vice President of Sales & Business Development. On their blog, the startup says Thau is actually becoming the Director of Mobile Business Development, but later in the post actively working on their mobile business strategy is listed as an ‘also’, next to “assessing all opportunities” and “picking up ongoing threads” from the “crushing amount of partnership opportunities” Twitter receives on a daily basis.

Kevin Thau has experience dealing with carriers, phone manufacturers and content providers & distributors from his previous positions, so Twitter is likely taking the logical route of attempting to monetize the service through partnerships with that type of companies as well as sponsored corporate accounts. Thau was hired late last month and has been active Twitter user for some time now.
