Netflix Names Former Disney Executive Peter Rice as New Chief Content Officer
Netflix has appointed Peter Rice, a former Disney executive, as its new chief content officer starting October 26, succeeding Bela Bajaria who is departing after nearly a decade. Rice will oversee Netflix's content strategy across series, films, and live events globally. This leadership change follows Netflix's recent layoffs of about 1,000 employees, or 6% of its workforce, amid concerns over slowing audience growth and competition from platforms like YouTube and TikTok.
