Behind every groundbreaking production and seamless creative pipeline lies a culture of strong leadership, effective collaboration, and a commitment to innovation. In this session, we’ll explore what leadership best practices look like within Netflix’s unique culture, where freedom & responsibility and people over process go hand in hand (think of “culture eats strategy for breakfast”).

Discover how people management and leadership fundamentals drive high-performing teams, empower creative decision-making, and sustain operational excellence in studio technology and production workflows, ultimately resulting in a seamless end-user product. Learn how leaders across the organisation foster trust, encourage experimentation, and align teams around a shared vision while navigating the evolving challenges of global content creation. Babak will focus on growth, scalability, technological adaptation during transformations and leadership principles, drawing from his experience in New York and Europe at Netflix.
