Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter, has been serving in his second stint as chief executive.

Twitter Inc. TWTR -2.19% said Monday that Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey is stepping down, a departure that comes a year after he withstood a challenge from activist investors.

The Twitter co-founder, one of the most prominent figures in Silicon Valley, is also CEO of digital payments company Square Inc. While his split duties and personal eccentricities have long drawn criticism, many employees have hailed him as a stabilizing force within the social-media company since he returned the CEO role in 2015.
