A bunch of Twitter employees and fans are tweeting about how the company's revenue boss #AdamBainIsSoNice
(Business Insider)
Twitter's revenue boss Adam Bain is a likeable guy.
So much so that everyone Re/code's Kara Swisher interviewed about the hunt for Twitter's new CEO (Bain is among the front-running candidates) had this to say: "Bain is suuuuuch a nice guy.”
"Good god, I think I even might have a minor man crush on him," said Swisher, who used (emphasis ours) "Adam Bain Is Soooo Nice, Jack Dorsey’s Hamlet Act and Other Things You Need to Know About the Twitter CEO Search" as the headline for her article.
Clearly amused, Twitter employees, partners, and fans then began tweeting their versions of why #AdamBainIsSoNice
We've collected some of the funniest:
Jim Prosser is Twitter's head of corporate and revenue communications (interim CEO Jack Dorsey retweeted this too.)
I was walking on beach with @adambain. When I looked back there was only 1 set of footprints. "That's when I carried you." #adambainissonice

Fair point, Mike Duda, managing partner at Consigliere Brand Capital. Swisher responded "heh."
