Netflix Appoints Jay Hoag as Chairman Following Reed Hastings' Departure
Netflix has appointed Jay Hoag as chairman of its board, succeeding co-founder Reed Hastings, who stepped down after nearly 30 years to focus on philanthropy.

Hastings led Netflix's transformation from a DVD rental service to a global streaming leader and guided it through the COVID-19 pandemic, which accelerated its growth.
