As Netflix announced its quarterly earnings, co-founder Reed Hastings revealed that after 25 years of running the company that grew from mail order video disc rentals into a streaming behemoth, he is no longer its CEO.
He’d named content chief Ted Sarandos co-CEO in 2020, and Sarandos will continue on in that role but now sharing duties as co-CEO with Greg Peters, Netflix’s former chief operating officer.
