Co-Chief Executive, Netflix
Sarandos was named co-chief executive of Netflix in July 2020. He has been responsible for all content operations since 2000, and led the company’s transition into original content production that began in 2013 with the launch of the series “House of Cards,” and “Arrested Development,” among numerous others. Sarandos received the Producers Guild of America Milestone Award in 2019 and has been named one of Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. He was named a Henry Crown Fellow at the Aspen Institute in 2012 and is chair of the board of trustees for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Other challenges facing him are a crackdown on password sharing, tiptoeing into sports content and diversifying into video games.
