Oct 19 : Netflix said on Monday its film division head Dan Lin would leave after nearly three years at the helm, marking a second senior executive departure in less than a week amid concerns over slowing engagement.
The company said on Thursday content chief Bela Bajaria would leave after nearly a decade with the streaming platform, and would be replaced by former Disney executive Peter Rice.
• Rice will oversee the films division until a new head is announced
• Netflix’s growth prospects and user engagement are under scrutiny; its co-CEO Ted Sarandos recently said the company is “not growing as fast as I want us to”
