  Little announced his exit from Storyful in June of this year: “I have decided to leave Storyful, the company I founded a little over five years ago. It’s not an easy decision but it’s a good one. And most importantly, it’s my decision alone.” The news was greeted warmly on Twitter with many offering their congratulations, including Katie Jacobs Stanton VP of Global Media at the company.
