Linda Yaccarino, the mystery woman who has been replacing Elon Musk as the new Twitter CEO, is a renowned advertising industry veteran.
Yaccarino is replacing Elon Musk because of how different she is from him. She was an agency veteran in the 1990s and early 2000s and that allowed her to bring a different perspective to the company. She also brings great insights into emerging trends and uses them to create better content for users on Twitter.
Linda Yaccarino is one of those women you would see sitting in front of a conference room wearing an orange outfit with black sunglasses on top of her head, looking like she does not have time for anything or anyone. It takes some effort to catch up with her, but it’s worth it once you do starting with her brilliant smile that lights up your day.
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, said on Thursday that he has identified a new CEO for Twitter. Musk also did not specify the candidate’s name or title.
“I had one person in particular that I thought would be great,” said Elon Musk at Recode’s Code Conference 2023 on Thursday. “It didn’t work out.”
Musk also hinted that this person was someone who is already working at a company, because he was trying to hire them away from their current role.
