Who is Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino?
Elon Musk made a surprise statement and said that Linda Yaccarino will be the new manager of Twitter. Musk, who has been the CEO of the platform for about six months, managed to stay on the agenda with his controversial decisions. Yaccarino, an important name in the advertising and communication world, also took part in the team of former US President Trump.
Linda Yaccarino was one of the most important executives in the media world. As Head of Advertising and Partnerships at NBCUniversal, Yaccarino oversaw the company’s advertising sales and client partnerships. The fact that Yaccarino is a big name for the media could lead celebrities to rejoin Twitter.
In his latest statement on the subject, Elon Musk said, “I look forward to working with Linda to transform this platform into ‘X’, the everything app.” Musk also stated that Yaccarino will focus on commercial operations, while he will focus on product design and new technology.
In addition to his work in the media field, Yaccarino also took part in the World Economic Forum. He was the manager of the “Future of Work” team of the forum. It is unclear when he will begin his role on Twitter.
The fact that Yaccarino is the new head of Twitter draws attention to the scarcity of women in big tech companies. Fewer than 9 percent of Fortune 500 companies are currently run by women.
