Netflix 周四宣布，贝拉·巴贾里亚将被前迪士尼高管彼得·赖斯取代首席内容官一职，自 10 月 26 日起生效。
Netflix on Thursday announced Bela Bajaria will be replaced as the company's chief content officer by former Disney exec Peter Rice, effective Oct. 26.
赖斯最近负责迪士尼的有线电视频道、新闻节目以及重大体育赛事的报道。
Rice most recently oversaw Disney's cable channels, news programming and coverage of major sporting events.
“彼得是娱乐业规模最大、效率最高的运营者之一，” 联合首席执行官泰德·萨兰多斯在一份声明中表示。“我很高兴欢迎他加入 Netflix，担任首席内容官，因为我们将继续扩大规模，为会员提供更多他们喜爱的故事。” 在加入迪士尼之前，赖斯曾在 21 世纪福克斯和福克斯探光影业担任职务。Netflix 在其公告中称他为“娱乐业最受尊敬的创意高管之一”。在新职位上，赖斯将监督公司的全球内容组织，包括剧本和非剧本系列、电影和现场活动。
"Peter is one of the most effective at-scale operators in the entertainment industry," co-CEO Ted Sarandos said in a statement. "I'm excited to welcome him to Netflix as Chief Content Officer as we continue to scale and deliver members more of the stories they love." Before Rice was at Disney, he held roles 21st Century Fox and Fox Searchlight Pictures. Netflix in its announcement called him "one of the entertainment industry's most respected creative executives." In his new role, Rice will oversee the company's global content organization, including scripted and unscripted series, film and live events.
“[Netflix] 一再表明，他们愿意对独特的声音和新鲜想法冒险，我很期待与团队合作，帮助向全球会员带来更多精彩故事，” 他在一份声明中表示。
"[Netflix has] shown again and again that they're willing to take chances on distinctive voices and fresh ideas, and I'm excited to work with the team to help bring even more great stories to members everywhere," he said in a statement.
巴贾里亚在离开 Netflix 前已工作近 10 年，最近一直担任公司全球内容团队的工作。她一直专注于公司的现场体育战略，旨在将热门比赛和赛事转化为活动。
Bajaria, who is leaving Netflix after nearly 10 years, most recently worked as the company's global content team. She had been focused on the company's live sports strategy, looking to create events out of buzzy games and tournaments.
“我对她为帮助 Netflix 娱乐世界所做的一切深表感激，” 萨兰多斯在一份声明中表示。
"I'm incredibly grateful for everything she's done to help Netflix entertain the world," Sarandos said in a statement.
此次公告发布的前一天，Netflix 在全球范围内启动了裁员，裁减了约 6% 的员工，即大约 1000 个岗位。该媒体公司将在周二发布其下一季度财报。
The announcement comes a day after Netflix instituted layoffs across its organization, eliminating approximately 6% of its workforce, or roughly 1,000 jobs. The media company will report its next quarterly earnings on Tuesday.
