(Reuters) – Linda Yaccarino, CEO of Elon Musk-owned social platform X, said on Wednesday she would step down from the top role in a surprise move.
Yaccarino took the top job at X in 2023 to help Musk execute his vision to transform the platform.
Prior to becoming the CEO of X, Yaccarino spent several years modernizing the ad business of Comcast’s NBCUniversal.
X did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
