CNBC reported:
Netflix founder Reed Hastings is stepping down from his role as CEO but will remain as chairman, the company announced Thursday alongside its earnings report.
Co-CEO Ted Sarandos will remain in his position. Most recently Chief Operating Officer Greg Peters will replace Hastings as co-CEO. Peters will also join the company’s board.
“I want to thank Reed for his visionary leadership, guidance and friendship over the past 20 years. We have all learned a lot from his intellectual rigor, honesty and willingness to take big bets – and we look forward to working with him for many years to come,” Sarandos said in a written statement.
Hastings co-founded Netflix in 1997. Sarandos was promoted to co-CEO alongside Hastings in July 2020, at the same time Peters was appointed to his COO role. The company did not specify in its Thursday announcement whether it would backfill the COO role.
