A Visionary Leader at the Helm of X Corp

Under Linda Yaccarino’s leadership, X Corp, the world's largest online news and social networking site, has transformed into a dynamic platform where global conversations, content creation, and community engagement thrive. Yaccarino, whose career in media and technology spans decades, is reshaping the way we think about digital spaces. In a statement, she described X as “the global newsroom in your pocket,” emphasizing the platform’s role as a unique and powerful space for free dialogue between the public and the powerful.

“X is the only real place for free dialogue between everyone—whether you’re a global leader, a content creator, or an everyday user. It’s a space where ideas flow freely and rapidly, shaping the way we engage with information,” said Yaccarino.

As the CEO of X, Yaccarino is at the forefront of digital transformation, working to redefine how media, brands, and individuals connect in a fast-moving, digital-first world. This mission is especially timely, as digital communication continues to play an increasingly central role in global events, societal debates, and business strategies.

A Conversation with a Leading Journalist

Joining Yaccarino for the keynote will be Catherine Herridge, a respected investigative journalist who has spent her career at the intersection of media and technology. Formerly with CBS News, Herridge is now an independent journalist with a rapidly growing audience of over 850,000 on X. Known for her commitment to the First Amendment and the principles of free speech, Herridge’s approach to journalism has made her a powerful advocate for open, transparent dialogue in today’s media landscape.

Herridge, who will moderate the conversation, brings a wealth of experience in understanding the impact of media platforms on public discourse. Her independence and commitment to the free press make her uniquely suited to explore the challenges and opportunities in today’s media environment, alongside one of its most influential figures.

“Linda’s career exemplifies the spirit of CES—innovation, resilience, and vision,” said Gary Shapiro, President and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). “Her leadership at X Corp is reshaping digital communication, and CES 2025 is the ideal platform to explore her ideas and challenges as we look ahead to the future of media.”
