# X CEO Linda Yaccarino set to resign after two years in role

Linda Yaccarino quits her job as [X](https://www.mindstick.com/news/4621/ai-will-work-on-x-platform-posts-what-will-be-the-impact-on-human-fact-checkers) CEO. Her exit comes at the end of a two year term at the helm of the [social media](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/305462/social-media-good-or-bad-for-you) platform. The resignation becomes effective immediately and it is expected that an interim [CEO](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/305686/visionary-founders-vs-operational-ceos-who-drives-success) will be elected soon and X will begin to seek a permanent successor.

## Highlights:

- Linda Yaccarino steps down as CEO effective immediately.
- Her tenure lasted approximately two years.
- An interim CEO will oversee [operations](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/304985/how-does-devops-bridge-the-gap-between-development-and-operations-teams-like-git) during the transition.
- X will commence a search for a permanent replacement.
- The [resignation marks](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81700/shinzo-abe-resignation-marks-end-of-nationalist-legacy-in-japan) a significant leadership change for the company.

X confirmed the resignation of Yaccarino. The change of [leadership](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/305723/9-essential-ai-tips-for-ceos-from-a-people-first-leadership-expert) comes after she presided over the platform. The company said that it is in the process of appointing an interim CEO. Continuity shall be taken into account with the immediate commencement of the search of a new permanent CEO.

The change of the [responsible](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94149/who-is-one-of-the-responsible-person-for-the-department-of-space-dos) person requires interim leadership. The [responsibility](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/104498/what-is-the-significance-of-the-fiscal-responsibility-and-budget-management-act) of doing this transition lies with the board or other [governing body](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/42654/what-governing-body-made-laws-that-colonists-had-to-abide-by-pre-revolution) of X. The company must have a long-lasting successor as [one of the major](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/109/gender-inequality-still-one-of-the-major-flaw-in-our-society) priorities. Consistency in this time is critical to operations during this time.

This leaves an empty throne at the head of X with the departure of Yaccarino. Emphasis is placed on picking new leaders who would steer the platform ahead to a place. This resignation will leave the roles of the CEO job to the permanent successor. The company has to handle this executive change successfully.
