DHAKA: Digital pioneer Martha Lane Fox has tweeted that she will be joining the board of US-based social network Twitter.

Baroness Lane-Fox tweeted that it would be the ‘best job ever’.

Twitter has suffered some poor financial results lately, with a quarterly net loss of $90m reported in February, reports the BBC.

Pepsi chief financial officer Hugh Johnston will also join the social network’s board.

Baroness Lane-Fox is widely regarded as one of Britain’s most successful web pioneers.

She was the UK’s Digital Champion until 2013, the same year she joined the House of Lords.

She began her digital career with the launch of lastminute.com along with co-founder Brent Hoberman in 1998.

By the time they sold it in 2005, the deal valued the company at £577m.

Recently, she founded Dot Everyone, a body that champions digital innovation.
