Netflix Names Dani Dudeck as Chief Communications Officer

Netflix has appointed Instacart alum Dani Dudeck as chief communications officer, reporting directly to co-CEO Ted Sarandos.

Dudeck joins from Instacart, where she has served as chief corporate affairs officer for seven years. Prior to that, she was chief communications officer at Zynga for eight years. She also spent time as VP of global communications for MySpace.

“Dani Dudeck has worked with some of the world’s fastest growing companies over the last two decades,” Sarandos said. “Dani is known for building high-performing global teams and shaping narratives that meaningfully influence culture, business and stakeholder trust, and we are excited to be welcoming her to Netflix.”

“I’m inspired by the vision and ambition that Ted, Greg [Peters] and the entire team bring to their work every day as they advance Netflix’s mission of entertaining the world,” Dudeck commented. “The teams at Netflix are among the hardest-working and most inventive in entertainment and technology, and, 28 years in, they’re still expanding the boundaries of what’s possible. I’m energized for what’s ahead and look forward to joining the team next month.”
