THOMAS K. ARNOLD: Streaming Grows Up<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Subscribe HERE to the FREE Media Play News<\/em> Daily Newsletter!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Co-CEOs, Netflix<\/strong><\/p>\n Despite sharing the CEO position, Sarandos and Peters continue to focus on their own niche components driving Netflix\u2019s global dominance. Sarandos continues to champion original programming, AI for \u201cbetter, faster\u201d storytelling \u2014 not as a replacement for major talent \u2014 and Netflix\u2019s role in \u201csaving Hollywood\u201d through streaming. Peters eyes product, operations and global expansion, emphasizing disciplined growth and innovation in ads and gaming, while exhibiting skepticism toward large-scale mergers and acquisitions, such as buying Warner Bros. Discovery. In the company\u2019s October fiscal report, Sarandos echoed Peters on M&A selectivity, stating he has \u201cno interest in owning legacy media networks,\u201d but is open to acquiring IP such as HBO and Warner Bros. Pictures. While continuing to turn a cold shoulder to the theatrical window for original feature films, Sarandos approved distributing KPop Demon Hunters<\/em> across select box office weekends, in addition to releasing the final episode of \u201cStranger Things\u201d in movie theaters. In addition to touting Netflix\u2019s production largess in the U.S. and the U.K., Sarandos and Peters hailed the streamer\u2019s $2 billion fiscal impact in India (creating 20,000 jobs) and $1 billion presence in Mexico for 2025-28 productions, boosting the streamer\u2019s ongoing think-local, stream-global synergy. Sarandos has been with Netflix since 2000, working alongside co-founder Reed Hastings to grow the original DVD-by-mail rental business and then transition the subscription model to streaming. Peters joined in 2008, a year after Netflix launched its streaming service, and as international development officer led the company\u2019s expansion outside the United States. He was promoted to chief product officer in 2017 and became chief operating officer in 2020, the same year Sarandos was named co-CEO. Hastings stepped down in January 2023 and Peters became Sarandos\u2019 new partner.<\/p>\n President, Ads, Netflix<\/strong><\/p>\n Reinhard oversees global advertising sales, product development, operations and measurement teams \u2014 a critical function as Netflix increasingly relies on its ad-supported subscription tier to drive revenue growth. Earlier this year Netflix reported having 94 million ad-supported subscribers, representing more than 31% of the streamer\u2019s global subscriber base. In April Netflix launched its first in-house ad-tech stack in the U.S. and Canada. In July it named Microsoft as the exclusive technology and sales partner for the ad-supported tier. And at this year\u2019s Upfront presentation to advertisers, Reinhard said ad-supported viewers \u201cpay as much attention to mid-roll ads as they do to the shows and the movies themselves.\u201d Netflix claims that subscribers average more than 41 hours a month on the platform. Prior to ad sales, Reinhard\u2019s executive roles at Netflix included VP of content acquisition (starting in 2016), where she handled global licensing for movies and TV shows, and VP of studio operations and consumer products (from 2020), managing physical production, facilities, casting and IP development.<\/p>\n CFO, Netflix<\/strong><\/p>\n As Netflix\u2019s chief financial architect since 2019, Neumann has quietly become one of the most influential figures in global streaming. A veteran of Disney and Activision Blizzard, Neumann brings Wall Street discipline to Hollywood creativity \u2014 overseeing billions in annual content spending while keeping investors confident in Netflix\u2019s long-term profitability. Under his watch, Netflix has managed to balance skyrocketing production budgets, international expansion, and the rollout of new revenue streams such as the ad-supported tier and paid password sharing. However, the stakes are higher than ever. In Q3 2025 Netflix missed its net income and margin guidance due to a Brazilian tax issue, despite revenue aligning with forecasts. Even so, the miss triggered a sharp drop in share value and raised questions about the sustainability of Netflix\u2019s growth model. Neumann\u2019s role has become pivotal not just in spending wisely, but in restoring credibility, guiding valuation expectations, and steering Netflix toward maturity while preserving its creative edge.<\/p>\n Chief Content Officer, Netflix<\/strong><\/p>\n Bajaria had a standout year in 2025, marked by major strategic expansions into live sports and events, and overseeing a slate of high-profile content that reinforced Netflix\u2019s dominance in streaming. Managing a massive content budget exceeding $17 billion across 50 languages, Bajaria has overseen popular series such as \u201cWednesday,\u201d \u201cBaby Reindeer\u201d and \u201cSquid Game,\u201d as well as such films as Adam Sandler\u2019s Happy Gilmore 2<\/em> and KPop Demon Hunters<\/em>, which at 325 million views is the streamer\u2019s most-watched movie ever. She also leads Netflix\u2019s push into live events, from high-profile fights such as the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul heavyweight bout in Las Vegas, to NFL Sunday afternoon and Christmas Day games, and the $5 billion \u201cWWE Raw\u201d live-stream deal (launched in January). Bajaria was appointed to her present post in January 2023, seven years after she joined Netflix to lead the streamer\u2019s move into unscripted programming. Prior to joining Netflix, Bajaria spent five years at Universal Television, most recently as President.<\/p>\n Chairman, Sony Pictures Television<\/strong><\/p>\n Le Goy\u2019s promotion this past January to Chairman of Sony Pictures Television (SPT) expanded his responsibilities to lead all of SPT\u2019s production operations, including the studio\u2019s legendary game shows business and Game Show Network (GSN), in addition to continuing his previous oversight of all television and home entertainment distribution for Sony Pictures\u2019 film and television content, and the studio\u2019s cable networks across Latin America and Europe. Under Le Goy\u2019s leadership, SPT\u2019s teams landed historic next-day streaming deals for \u201cJeopardy!\u201d and \u201cWheel of Fortune\u201d with Hulu and Peacock in the U.S. and Bell Media\u2019s Crave in Canada. This marks the first time that current-season episodes of the iconic game shows were made available on a streaming platform. Prior to his present position, Le Goy served as Chairman of Worldwide Distribution and Networks for Sony Pictures Entertainment, leading the studio\u2019s combined television and home entertainment distribution and marketing businesses, while also overseeing SPT\u2019s cable networks.<\/p>\n President, Direct-to-Consumer, The Walt Disney Co.<\/strong><\/p>\n Earley leads efforts to expand and elevate The Walt Disney Co.\u2019s streaming services Disney+ and Hulu. Since he was appointed to his present position in April 2023, Earley has propelled Disney\u2019s direct-to-consumer business to unprecedented heights, reaching streaming profitability every quarter for the past year. This success is attributed to strategic initiatives led by Earley and his team, including groundbreaking integrations that have created a seamless one-app experience, such as the incorporation of Hulu and ESPN content on Disney+ in the United States. Earley joined Disney in January 2019 to oversee Disney+ marketing and operations in the lead-up to its launch that year, and added responsibility for content curation in 2021 as the service expanded globally. In January 2022 he was named President of Hulu. Before joining Disney, Earley spent three years as President of the Jackal Group. Earlier, he enjoyed a two-decade run at 20th Century Fox, most recently serving as COO for the Fox Television Group.<\/p>\n President, Disney+<\/strong><\/p>\n Bowen oversees subscriber and revenue growth and content scheduling for The Walt Disney Co.\u2019s flagship streamer as well as business operations across the company\u2019s direct-to-consumer division, including Hulu. Under her leadership, Disney+ has continued to expand its value proposition with ESPN-produced originals \u201cSC+\u201d and \u201cVibe Check\u201d and ABC News\u2019 daily series \u201cWhat You Need to Know\u201d \u2014 all specifically crafted for the Disney+ subscriber. This programming has helped create a more unified streaming experience, driving deeper engagement and reducing churn. Before taking charge of Disney+ in September 2022, Bowen served as EVP of Global Business Operations for Disney Streaming, overseeing global content and business operations, including cross-functional leadership of the global Disney+ rollout in 154 markets worldwide. Bowen joined Disney in 2017 as CTO of international operations. Prior to that, Bowen held product, digital technology and general management leadership positions at major media organizations, including Thomson Reuters, Dow Jones and News Corp.<\/p>\n GM, Hulu, and <\/strong> Tempest is responsible for the Hulu business as well as global licensing oversight for Disney Entertainment\u2019s direct-to-consumer services, strategically securing marquee titles that drive significant viewership globally. Recent examples include \u201cGilmore Girls\u201d (U.S., Canada, and Australia\/New Zealand), the Discovery\/Scripps portfolio (U.S.), and \u201cThe Big Bang Theory\u201d and \u201cYoung Sheldon\u201d (EMEA). Tempest last year oversaw the successful integration of Hulu on Disney+, a milestone that required renegotiating rights for major titles and navigating complex challenges. Her work expanded content access and value for bundle subscribers across the United States. Prior to assuming her present position in 2023, Tempest was Hulu\u2019s SVP of Content Partnerships, Acquisitions and Scheduling, overseeing Hulu\u2019s library of content and helping establish a new strategic scheduling framework. She also worked with the company\u2019s third-party partners to acquire top SVOD titles. Tempest joined Hulu in 2015 after six years in program acquisitions with NBCUniversal\u2019s USA Network.<\/p>\n Chair, Direct-to-Consumer, Paramount, a Skydance Corporation<\/strong><\/p>\n Best known for orchestrating Netflix\u2019s move into original content, Holland now leads streaming at the new Paramount, a Skydance Corporation.

Miron\u2019s importance in the streaming world stems from his foundational role at Netflix where, from 2012 to 2021, he helped implement many of the business practices, frameworks and deal structures now standard across the industry. His experience negotiating breakthrough series such as \u201cThe Crown\u201d and \u201cWednesday\u201d underscores his ability to secure premium content that drives subscriber growth and retention. In his Paramount role, Miron\u2019s deep background in business affairs, production partnerships and global distribution gives him the skill set to shape not only what content appears, but how it is sold, positioned and monetized.

Discovery<\/strong><\/p>\n Perrette\u2019s contract as the de facto head of the HBO Max streaming service was extended in July, even though parent company Warner Bros. Discovery\u2019s future is murky: WBD is scheduled to split into two entities, Warner Bros. and Discovery Global, by the middle of next year, unless a sale or merger derails that process. In the meantime, Perrette and HBO Max are expected to keep chugging along with the streamer\u2019s ongoing worldwide rollout, which saw the service in October launch in 15 new markets, including Bangladesh, Cambodia, Macau, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Ukraine. The rollout is part of WBD\u2019s goal to have 150 million subscribers worldwide by 2026. The platform ended June 30 with 125.7 million subs.
