Bela Bajaria

Once the untouchable giant in the streaming world, Netflix is now the underdog as it grapples with a decline in subscribers. Bajaria, who is responsible for all scripted and unscripted TV series globally, still oversees a huge chunk of the $17 billion Netflix spends on content annually. In the past 12 months, that’s led to the likes of Stranger Things 4, Bridgerton season two, and Squid Game (Netflix’s biggest series debut ever)—as well as 105 Emmy nominations.
