X communications chief resigns

Dave Heinzinger has left his position as communications chief at X after three months, citing personal reasons.

He joined X in December 2024 and has returned to his previous role as president of the PR firm Haymaker.

Heinzinger’s departure follows several exits from X’s communications team, including Nick Pickles, the former head of global affairs, who left in September 2024.

Heinzinger was hired after Joe Benarroch, who led X’s media and communications efforts until June 2024, exited the company.
