Twitter Announces New CEO to Take Office in Six Weeks
Twitter’s new CEO has been announced by the company’s owner, Elon Musk. Linda Yaccarino, a former senior executive at Turner Entertainment and NBCUniversal, will take over the role and will focus on Twitter’s commercial activities. Musk stated that he will concentrate on product design and new technology, and he is looking forward to working with Yaccarino.
Yaccarino is a graduate of Penn State University’s Liberal Arts Faculty Telecommunications Systems. She has extensive experience in the media industry, having worked for world-renowned companies such as Turner Entertainment and NBCUniversal.
The announcement of Yaccarino’s appointment comes after Musk dismissed several senior executives on Twitter, including CEO Parag Agrawal. Musk bought the social media platform for $44 billion last year and has been looking to make changes to improve the platform’s performance.
Yaccarino will take over the role in six weeks, although Musk did not reveal her name in his announcement. The Twitter community will be keen to see what changes Yaccarino brings to the platform and whether they will improve its user experience.
