Hunt, who has been with Netflix\u00a0for 18 years, has overseen a number\u00a0major shifts in\u00a0the company\u2019s\u00a0business, as it transitioned\u00a0from a DVD-by-mail service to a U.S.-based desktop\u00a0streaming business to a company that\u00a0makes its videos available\u00a0on smartphones and connected TV products all around the world.<\/p>\n

Replacing Hunt will be Greg Peters, who has held multiple roles in product development and business development over the last nine years with\u00a0the company. Most recently, Peters led\u00a0development efforts within Netflix\u2019s Tokyo office, where he oversaw content licensing and creation, as well as local marketing.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0a statement issued along with the announcement, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said:\u00a0\u201cGreg and Neil have collaborated through the years to make the Netflix experience all over the world absolutely incredible\u2026 I look forward to having Greg take on this role and to celebrate with Neil our 100 millionth member.\u201d<\/p>\n
