Twitter has promoted Wifredo "Wifi" Fernández to its top U.S. government affairs and public policy role as the social media giant navigates various legal and regulatory challenges. Fernández, who briefly worked at Akerman law firm and graduated from the University of Miami School of Law, has climbed the ranks at Twitter to become a key player in its public policy team. The promotion comes amidst significant personnel changes at Twitter, which is now part of Elon Musk's X Corp.
