Though Yaccarino does not have experience in health tech, eMed said in a press release that they sought her out for her "undeniable ability to negotiate new partnerships."

The eMed Population Health digital health platform announced Tuesday that former X Chief Executive Officer Linda Yaccarino has been appointed its new CEO.

Linda Yaccarino is taking the top job at eMed Population Health, a telehealth startup focused on GLP-1 weight loss drugs, nearly a month after stepping down as CEO of social media platform X.
