   May 12 (Reuters) - Two senior Twitter (TWTR.N) leaders who   
   oversee the consumer and revenue divisions will depart the   
   social media company, Chief Executive Officer Parag Agrawal told   
   employees in a memo on Thursday, in one of the biggest shake-ups   
   at the company since billionaire Elon Musk announced he would   
   buy it for $44 billion.   
      
   Agrawal also said in the memo, which was seen by Reuters, that   
   Twitter would pause most hiring and review all existing job   
   offers to determine whether any "should be pulled back."   
      
   He attributed the decision in part because Twitter was not able   
   to hit user growth and revenue milestones to maintain confidence   
   that it could reach aggressive growth targets it had set in 2020.   
      
   "We need to continue to be intentional about our teams, hiring   
   and costs," Agrawal wrote.   
      
   The company was targeting $7.5 billion in annual revenue and 315   
   million daily users by the end of 2023, but withdrew those goals   
   in its recent earnings report.   
      
   Kayvon Beykpour, who led Twitter's consumer division, and Bruce   
   Falck, who oversaw revenue, both tweeted on Thursday that the   
   departures were not their decisions.   
      
   "Parag asked me to leave after letting me know that he wants to   
   take the team in a different direction," Beykpour tweeted,   
   adding he was still on paternity leave from Twitter.   
      
   "I'll clarify that I too was fired by (Parag)," Falck said,   
   though he appeared to later delete the tweet.   
      
   Falck thanked his team in a tweet thread and updated his bio to   
   say "unemployed."
