idk why ppl think elizabeth stone is just some random tech expert lol she's got a PhD in economics from stanford which is crazy, and her background is actually super diverse - equity derivatives trading? that's like, finance 101 for most people . and let's be real, greg peters knows what he's doing as co-ceo. the fact that netflix is elevating stone to this new role shows they trust her abilities and she's got some solid skills under her belt . it's not like we're gonna see some dramatic change in their product strategy or anything... maybe just a few tweaks .
So, I'm thinking, this move by Netflix is kinda like a reflection of our society's obsession with tech giants and their power plays . I mean, who needs a Chief Product Officer when you can have a CTO taking over both product and tech ops? It's like they're saying, "Hey, we've got this whole thing under control... technology-wise". Meanwhile, what about the folks in the product teams? Are they just gonna be winging it while Elizabeth focuses on the bigger picture? That's like how politicians think voters will magically know what's best for them without doing their due diligence. Anyway, I'm curious to see how this plays out...
im so hyped about elizabeth stone's new role! i mean, the fact that a phd economist is leading tech ops at netflix is crazy cool . her background in equity derivatives trading sounds like a whole different world from streaming services lol but it just goes to show that you dont need to be a tech expert to make tech happen.
i think its awesome that greg peters praised her for simplifying complexity and driving innovation - those are some pretty big skills to have, especially in the tech industry . i wonder what her strategy will look like now that shes got both product and tech teams under her belt tho
omg did u hear about elizabeth stone's new gig i mean i'm not surprised tho she seems super talented & has a pretty cool background for a tech exec - economics phd from stanford? but what's up with her old gigs tho? trading equity derivatives at merrill lynch? that's like, so different from tech lol anyway i guess it shows u don't have to be a 'tech person' 2 b good @ netaflicks & she's prob gonna do a great job under greg peters
