Elon Musk recently announced that Linda Yaccarino, an executive with extensive experience in the advertising industry and current NBCUniversal employee, will be taking on the role of CEO of Twitter, now called X Corp. In a tweet, Musk expressed his excitement, mentioning that Yaccarino would be focusing on business operations while he would concentrate on product design and new technology. With almost twelve years at NBCUniversal, Yaccarino has a strong background, contributing to over $100 billion in ad sales since 2011. Her past positions include chair for advertising and client partnerships at NBC, as well as president of cable entertainment and digital advertising sales, as documented on her LinkedIn profile.

Before joining NBC, Yaccarino worked for global entertainment company Turner for nearly twenty years. Notably, she had an opportunity to interview Musk during an event in Miami last month, which was attended by hundreds of advertisers. Rebuilding relationships with advertisers will be crucial for Musk and X Corp, especially considering the mass exodus of brands following the early stages of his takeover. In late April, Musk claimed that advertisers had returned to the platform, but did not provide further information.

There's a lot of hope that Yaccarino can help restore advertisers' trust in the platform, as expressed by DiGo founder and creative chief Mark DiMassimo. He points out her successes in integrating and digitizing ad sales at Comcast and NBC, as well as her proven ability to sell ads across various platforms. DiMassimo believes this experience could be advantageous for Musk as he seeks to transition X Corp from a social media company into a broader media platform. DiMassimo is confident that if anyone can turn Musk's vision into a reality, Yaccarino is the one to do it and thinks that her potential move to X Corp would be a powerfully reassuring step.
