Musk, however, did not name the candidate. But said that “she will be starting in about 6 weeks.”
However, The Wall Street Journal reported that Linda Yaccarino, the chairman of global advertising and partnerships at NBCUniversal, is in discussions to become the new CEO of Twitter.
With over a decade of experience at NBCUniversal, Yaccarino has been a strong advocate for improving advertising measurement and played a crucial role in the successful launch of NBCUniversal’s ad-supported Peacock streaming service.
