Kamdar will be shuttling between BuzzFeed's New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco offices, reported TechCrunch.
His move comes just after Twitter announced 14 new live-streaming video partnerships, including with BuzzFeed, at the NewFronts, in early May.
It has also partnered with data experts Dunnhumby to woo advertisers by helping FMCG brands quantify how spend on its social media platform impacts sales.
The social platform desperately needs its video bid to work out as its existing ad-revenue streams continue to decline.
