Ted Sarandos Dismisses Interest in Disney CEO Role

Netflix's co-CEO emphasizes focus on current projects, including live sports and global experiences.

Ted Sarandos, co-CEO of Netflix, stated he is not considering the Disney CEO position as the company searches for Bob Iger's successor.
Sarandos highlighted Netflix's ongoing growth potential and excitement about current projects at the WSJ Tech Live conference.
Netflix plans to expand its presence in live sports and immersive experiences, with upcoming NFL games and new 'Netflix Houses' in development.
Generative AI is viewed by Sarandos as a tool to enhance content creation, but not as a replacement for human creatives.
Netflix's ad-supported tier continues to grow, with 40 million users, as the company maintains its cost-plus compensation model for talent.
