Jim Prosser, head of corporate, revenue and policy communications for Twitter, has left for a similar role at non-bank lending start-up SoFi.
He exits the social messaging service just a week after VP of communication Natalie Kerris, who departed after eight months.
Prosser spent the past four years at Twitter in San Francisco, joining in 2012 after handling global communications and public affairs at Google.
He earlier managed media relations for Direct Relief International and served as communications director for the Republican Congressional campaign of Michael Tenenbaum for Congress in California in 2006.
SoFi, short for Social Finance, is a five-year-old San Francisco company focused on student loans and mortgages. Its loan portfolio is more than $7B.
Prosser serves as VP of communications and policy for SoFi.
Leslie Berland oversees communications at Twitter as chief marketing officer.
Established through a founding gift from 2025 Page Hall of Fame inductee and former Weber Shandwick Global CEO Andy Polansky, the fund is meant to serve as a catalyst for empowering future senior communications leaders as well as increasing the diversity in the chief communications officer pipeline.
Some well-honed communications strategies typically deployed in an activist situation must be set aside when the activist is also the founder of the company. Such situations require a more tailored response: one that respects the founder’s credibility without conceding the company’s future, addresses shareholders’ financial interests while acknowledging questions of legacy, and anticipates that the fight may be as personal and persistent as it is strategic.
Molly Fogarty, who rose to head of corporate affairs & sustainability at Nestle during a nearly 23-year stint, will join Brunswick Group as a partner in DC on Sept. 14.
Senior leaders have been exiting newly combined agencies since the wave of integrations started—the kind of departures that don't always make headlines but show up in who's running client accounts six months later.
Why CEO visibility is no longer optional as a communications tactic.
