Here's What We Know About Twitter's New CEO, Linda Yaccarino
• https://www.theorganicprepper.com by Marie HawthorIs he really a champion of free speech? Or was this a plan, all along, to turn Twitter into the American equivalent of WeChat? How much can we really trust him to stand up for the First Amendment?
Let's look a little more closely at Linda Yaccarino first.
Before moving to Twitter, she was NBCUniversal's Chairman of Global Advertising and Partnerships. During her decade-plus at NBC, she helped the network transition from a traditional broadcasting network to a modern media company, establishing partnerships with companies like Apple, Snapchat, Buzzfeed, and YouTube to increase NBC's online presence dramatically.
This is a woman who knows in what direction the winds are blowing and gets things done.
From a purely business perspective, her choice as Twitter's CEO makes sense. Twitter lost many of its big advertisers after Musk's takeover. Their revenue in December 2022 was down more than 70% from the year before. Musk needs to start rebuilding his relationships with advertisers, and Yaccarino looks like the perfect person to do it.
