Inside Look: How Netflix Built Its Talent Function and Culture

​Netflix’s culture is one of the most copied and least understood in business. Talent density, top-of-market pay, freedom and responsibility — the deck went viral, but the operating work behind it rarely gets discussed.

​Jessica Neal spent 12 years building that talent function, ending as Chief Talent Officer, through Netflix’s rise from DVD-by-mail to global streaming. Now an operating partner at TCV, she also co-hosts the TruthWorks podcast with Patty McCord, where she has interviewed more than 100 guests, including CEOs, founders, and chief people officers.

​On Sept. 15 at 1 p.m. eastern, she joins Jeff Joseph, President of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and President of Immigration Strategy at Manifest Law, for an inside look at how the function was built — what hiring the best person for every role actually demanded, and how to talk to your own CFO, CHRO, and CEO about the programs that make it possible.
