Joy has handled complex, high-stakes issues for Google and YouTube across 13 markets, including content, online safety, regulation, as well as investment and M&A comms. The exec brings earlier international experience from Bertelsmann and Burson-Marsteller, advising technology, media and FMCG companies across Asia and Europe. “Flávia and Joy are seasoned leaders with deep expertise in their markets and a strong track record of shaping impactful narratives for technology, entertainment, and consumer brands,” said Dudeck. “Their perspectives will complement our talented teams in each region as we continue to tell the Netflix story in ways that are locally relevant and globally resonant. I’m excited for what we’ll build together in the years ahead and proud to welcome them to our team.” Read More About: Asia Dani Dudeck international latin america Netflix THR Newsletters Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day Subscribe Sign Up More from The Hollywood Reporter Neon Neon in Talks to Sell Major Stake to Production Company Department M
