Netflix’s communications head Emily Feingold will depart the company after eight years.
Feingold, who most recently served as VP of communications, will leave Netflix after initially joining in 2017 on the film leadership team as the company expanded its original programming. Her role was eventually expanded to oversee all communications for the U.S. and Canada.
Feingold’s role shifted more recently to focus on content communications for the U.S. and Canada as as Dani Dudeck was named chief communications officer Dani Dudeck and Kelly Pakula joined as VP of global of corporate communications.
The news also comes as Netflix added two new additional leads to its comms team, including senior director of product and technology comms Malorie Lucich and head of U.S. policy comms and external affairs, Caitlin Conant, based in DC.
“Emily has been a dedicated member of the Netflix team for eight years, making meaningful contributions throughout her tenure,” Dudeck said in statement to press. “We’re deeply grateful for all she has done for our team and for the company, and we wish her every success in her future endeavors.”
During her tenure, Feingold has seen Netflix through several notable strategic shifts, including the expansion into advertising, gaming and live events, as well as the Warner Bros. acquisition, which the company lost to Paramount.
Prior to joining Netflix, Feingold served as SVP of corporate strategy and communications at private investment firm Andell, Inc, and, before that, served as VP of corp comms for Ralph Lauren and The Weinstein Company.
Feingold began her career in working at the White House during the Clinton administration.
