Notable leavers from the company included Ben 'Fishstix' Goldhaber, Twitch's now former director of content marketing, and former VP of community and social Justin Wong. The pair announced their departures from Twitch via Twitter.

7 years.

From 25 employees to 1200. 5 million monthly uniques to 100. 0 partnered creators to tens of thousands. Millions of lives changed, hopefully for the better.

It was a pretty good run, I'd say :')
