The announcement could come as early as tomorrow, and he will continue to run payments company Square, of which he is also currently CEO. Twitter’s board will likely see some changes, according to the report, starting with former CEO Dick Costolo’s departure. Dorsey temporarily took over the role following Costolo’s departure earlier in the summer. The board has been on the hunt for a replacement ever since, with several candidates, both inside and outside of the the company, being rumored as being in the run. Dorsey, however, was long said to be the favorite, despite his ongoing role as Square’s CEO. Square’s board was reportedly opposed to letting him run both companies, likely due to [Square’s impending IPO](http://fortune.com/2015/09/25/square-ipo-filing/ "undefined"). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4056278/twitter-ceo-jack-dorsey/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4056278/twitter-ceo-jack-dorsey/"},"headline":"Twitter Set to Name Jack Dorsey As Permanent CEO","datePublished":"2015-09-30T18:25:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:06:43.259Z","description":"An announcement could be made Thursday","url":"https://time.com/4056278/twitter-ceo-jack-dorsey/","keywords":["Companies","Tech","twitter","pubdesk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4843715ac19e42ec/698866412dce011c4c9e5cbd/gettyimages-477236672.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kia Kokalitcheva / Fortune"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4843715ac19e42ec/698866412dce011c4c9e5cbd/gettyimages-477236672.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Squawk on the Street","caption":"Squawk on the Street","creditText":"CNBC—NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/companies/","name":"Companies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4056278/twitter-ceo-jack-dorsey/","name":"Twitter Set to Name Jack Dorsey As Permanent CEO"}}]}] ```
