Building Netflix With Elizabeth Stone: Entertainment At Scale, Personalization, And Pushing Beyond Film and TV

Netflix feels remarkably simple.

Open the app. Find something to watch. Press play.

But creating that experience is anything but simple.

On this episode of Building One, Tomer Cohen sits down with Elizabeth Stone, Netflix's Chief Technology Officer and Chief Product Officer, to explore how one of the world's most iconic consumer products continues to evolve while staying remarkably intuitive.

Netflix is no longer just movies and TV. It's live events, games, podcasts, mobile experiences, and AI-powered personalization. Elizabeth shares how Netflix is expanding into entirely new forms of entertainment—without making the product feel more complicated for its members.

Before joining Netflix, Elizabeth built products across healthcare, transportation, and finance. That unique perspective shapes how she thinks about product strategy, organizational design, and solving complex problems at scale.

In this episode, Tomer and Elizabeth discuss:

How Netflix balances world-class content with world-class product and technology

Why expanding from one product to many is one of the hardest challenges in product management

How Netflix introduces new experiences without overwhelming its members

Why content teams and product teams shouldn't operate the same way—and how Netflix bridges the gap

How Netflix measures value across movies, games, live events, and podcasts
