Emily Feingold Exits Netflix Communications Team
Her departure, announced June 2, follows a recent reshuffle that placed new leaders over media, corporate and product communications and could change how Netflix frames major business moves.
Overview
- Netflix confirmed on Tuesday, June 2 that longtime communications executive Emily Feingold is leaving the company and published a statement from chief communications officer Dani Dudeck thanking her for years of service.
- Feingold joined Netflix in 2017 on the film leadership team, was promoted in 2022 to vice president of communications, and later oversaw U.S. and Canada communications during the streamer’s push into original film and awards campaigns.
- In recent months Netflix has added senior comms hires — Dani Dudeck as chief communications officer, Kelly Pakula as VP of global corporate communications, Malorie Lucich for product and technology comms, and Caitlin Conant for U.S. policy comms — and Feingold’s duties had narrowed to U.S. content messaging.
- The company has not disclosed a reason for Feingold’s exit and reporting so far does not indicate whether the move was voluntary or part of the reorganization.
- Her departure may change how Netflix handles messaging around advertising, gaming, live events and M&A activity, and industry observers should watch upcoming content rollouts and any future deal-related communications for signs of a new strategy.
