Netflix’s Emily Feingold Out as VP of Comms After 8 Years

Emily Feingold, one of Netflix 's top communications execs, is exiting the streaming giant after eight years.

Feingold was hired in 2017 as communications director and was promoted in 2022 to VP of communications. It’s unclear why the well-respected Feingold is leaving Netflix, a company whose profile she helped raise and whose reputation she protected fiercely during her tenure. Puck first reported the news of Feingold’s departure.

Feingold’s departure comes as Netflix brought on new leadership of its media relations team, including the recent hires of chief communications officer Dani Dudeck and VP of global corporate communications Kelly Pakula. The streamer also made two additional hires on the comms team, senior director of product and technology comms Malorie Lucich as well as head of U.S. policy comms and external affairs Caitlin Conant.

Prior to Netflix, Feingold served as senior VP of corporate strategy and communications at Andell, a private investment firm. She previously spent 13 years at New York-based companies including Ralph Lauren and the Weinstein Company. Feingold began her career in Washington, D.C., working at the White House during the Clinton administration.

"Emily has been a dedicated member of the Netflix team for eight years, making meaningful contributions throughout her tenure,” said Dudeck, who was hired in late 2025. “We're deeply grateful for all she has done for our team and for the company, and we wish her every success in her future endeavors."
