Linda Yaccarino is being touted by media industry insiders as Twitter's new CEO. Company insiders are floating Ella Irwin to be Elon Musk's pick
"Twitter employees think they may know who Elon Musk has picked to replace himself as CEO of the social media company. Media industry insiders have other ideas.
Musk made a surprise announcement on Thursday that he'd selected a new CEO to take over the role from him.
Chatter from the media industry points to Linda Yaccarino, head of global advertising and partnerships at NBCUniversal. Yaccarino has told friends in the past that she wanted to be CEO of Twitter, one person familiar with the situation said.
Yaccarino has been supportive of Musk in recent months, when the tech billionaire has been slashing jobs at Twitter, and making enemies in and around the Twittersphere. She recently interviewed Musk on stage at an industry event, proclaiming her support for "freedom of speech" in a tweet sharing their conversation. She said at an Ad Age conference last fall that Musk needs to be given time to turn the company around."
