As the news of my departure from Netflix is now public, I wanted to take a moment here to thank all of the incredibly talented people I had the opportunity to work and collaborate with over the last 5 years in my role as VP of Inclusion Strategy. I know they will all be in good hands as my brilliant colleague, Wade Davis, steps into this vital role, leading our mighty Inclusion Strategy team across the globe.
Leaving Netflix is not easy, but for a while now I have been feeling the call to work across different industries and address the polarization I see in the world and to apply more of a spiritual lens as a way of helping bridge the divide. It felt like the right time for me to enter the next phase of my professional and personal journey. While I’ll continue to play a role as advisor to Netflix, at the end of September, I will return full-time to my consulting agency, The Vernā Myers Company, to build on my vision to break through division and transform how we work and live. I’m excited about the prospect of working closely with more global industry leaders to help them create more compassion, justice, and unity within their organizations.
As I work through this transition period, stay close to catch updates from myself and the TVMC team in the coming months.
Feeling blessed and grateful,
Vernā
Stay tuned for an update on Vernā and TVMC’s next steps to be announced in the coming months.
