Linda Yaccarino: All You Need To Know About Twitter's Potential New CEO

Elon Musk could potentially appoint Linda Yaccarino of NBCUniversal as the new Twitter CEO.

Musk tweeted that he had identified a new chief executive for Twitter, without revealing the person's name.

Musk said he will take the role of Twitter’s executive chair as she will be starting in around six weeks.

Yaccarino has over ten years of experience at NBCUniversal.

Yaccarino led NBCU's advertising sales division and played a vital role in the company.

Yaccarino obtained her education at Penn State University, majoring in liberal arts and telecommunications.

She spent 19 years at Turner Entertainment and worked in the network's advertising sales operations.

Yaccarino has in the past praised Elon Musk for his dedication and work ethic.

She also said that Musk needed to be given time to turn things around at Twitter.

It will be a big blow to the company after the departure of Yaccarino from NBCUniversal.
