Eunice Kim, Netflix‘s chief product officer, is leaving the streaming giant.
The reasons behind Kim’s exit after almost five years at Netflix were not immediately clear. Netflix chief technology officer Elizabeth Stone will take over Kim’s duties until a replacement is found, the company said.
Kim, after joining Netflix in January 2021 to lead the Consumer Product Innovation team, was named chief product officer in October 2023. Prior to Netflix, she spent 10 years in product leadership roles at Google Play and YouTube, where she was director of product management. Earlier in her career she worked at companies including PepsiCo and Adobe Systems.
Among other initiatives, Kim oversaw a the major redesign of Netflix’s connected-TV interface, which debuted in May 2025, designed to make the service simpler and more intuitive to navigate and to provide more flexibility in presenting and promoting livestreamed events.
Greg Peters, Netflix’s co-CEO who previously served as the company’s chief product officer, said in a statement: “I’m incredibly grateful for Eunice’s leadership and partnership during a pivotal time for our business. Over the past five years, Eunice has made many significant contributions to Netflix — most recently launching our new TV experience. She has been an incredibly hardworking, dedicated, and caring leader for the organization. We thank her for everything and look forward to following her continued success.”
In a statement provided by Netflix, Kim said: “I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked with such a talented team at Netflix. Over the past five years, we grew the business together from 200 million to over 300 million members by successfully launching and scaling many major growth initiatives, including the ads plan. We also redesigned the product experience, expanding beyond VOD to support a much broader entertainment offering — including live events, ads, and games. I’m proud of what we built, and I’m excited to see what’s next for the company.”
Kim holds a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University and an MBA from the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business. She serves on the board of directors for Cure CMD, a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to advance research of treatments for congenital muscular dystrophies and improve the lives of those living with CMD.
