Netflix’s Head of Talent Jessica Neal joined RBC’s John Stackhouse, Senior Vice President, Office of the CEO to discuss fostering a culture of innovation at RBCDisruptors.
Netflix may be the biggest disruptor of them all. Ten years ago, the company made most of its money sending DVDs by mail. Now, it’s bigger than Disney—the most valuable media company on earth. Jessica Neal is Head of Talent at Netflix, and it’s her job to maintain the company’s culture of innovation. She joined us at RBCDisruptors, live from the May 2018 C2 conference in Montreal to discuss.
