Netflix CPO Eunice Kim is coming to TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 to talk tech, tools, and yes, its password-sharing strategy
We're absolutely thrilled to announce that Eunice Kim, Chief Product Officer of Netflix, will be joining us on the main stage at this October 27-29 at Moscone West in San Francisco! As we mark two decades of TechCrunch Disrupt, there's perhaps no better embodiment of transformative growth than Netflix's journey during this same period. From DVD-by-mail startup to global streaming giant reaching more than 300 million subscribers worldwide, Netflix has fundamentally reshaped how we consume entertainment, and Kim is architecting that entire experience. Since being named CPO at Netflix in October 2023, Kim oversees what she calls "the best job at Netflix" -- and for good reason. Her role spans the full spectrum of Netflix's product universe: leading product strategy and design for the service across 1,700+ devices, perfecting search and recommendations to ensure "the best content reaches each and every one of our members," and driving commercial strategy including plan structures, pricing, and tackling complex challenges like account sharing across global markets. What makes Kim's perspective particularly compelling for Disrupt attendees: she's also revolutionizing content production itself through technology. Her team develops the software and tools that support Netflix's creative partners worldwide, leveraging technology "throughout what we call the pitch to play life cycle," she has said -- from initial script to the final locked video file that appears on your screen, plus all the surrounding elements that make content successful for members. Drawing from a decade of product leadership at Google Play and YouTube, plus experience across startups, PepsiCo, and Adobe, Kim brings unique insights into scaling consumer experiences while simultaneously transforming how content gets made behind the scenes. We can't wait to hear how she's navigating the intersection of product innovation, global commerce strategy, and creative technology at the world's largest subscription service. Be part of the conversation (and many more) with 10,000 tech leaders and VCs at Disrupt 2025 — and save up to $675 by .
