Linda Yaccarino, the chair of global advertising and partnerships at NBCUniversal, has been named by Elon Musk as the chief executive of Twitter.

Last month, Yaccarino interviewed Musk onstage at an advertising event in Miami.

Earlier on Thursday, Musk said he had selected a chief executive for Twitter but did not disclose her identity.

In a tweet, he wrote, "She will be starting in 6 weeks!"

Later on Thursday he tweeted, 'I am excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter!'

Linda will focus on business ops while I will focus on product design and new technology, he added.
