Eunice Kim, Netflix’s chief product officer, is departing the streamer after five years. At the time of this writing, her reason(s) for leaving is unclear.
Netflix intends to replace Kim. In the interim, chief technology officer Elizabeth Stone will take over Kim’s duties.
Kim joined Netflix in 2021 to lead the Consumer Product Innovation team. In 2023, she was named chief product officer.
“I’m incredibly grateful for Eunice’s leadership and partnership during a pivotal time for our business,” Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said in a statement. “Over the past five years, Eunice has made many significant contributions to Netflix — most recently launching our new TV experience. She has been an incredibly hardworking, dedicated, and caring leader for the organization. We thank her for everything and look forward to following her continued success.”
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked with such a talented team at Netflix,” Kim said in a statement. “Over the past five years, we grew the business together from 200M to over 300M members by successfully launching and scaling many major growth initiatives, including the ads plan. We also redesigned the product experience, expanding beyond VOD to support a much broader entertainment offering — including live events, ads, and games. I’m proud of what we built, and I’m excited to see what’s next for the company.”
Prior to Netflix, Kim spent 10 years in product leadership roles at Google Play and YouTube. Her career also includes some tech startups, roles at PepsiCo and Adobe Systems. Kim has a bachelors degree from Columbia University and an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. She serves on the board of directors for Cure CMD.
