Netflix Taps Former Disney Exec Naomi Bulochnikov-Paul for Top TV Series Comms Role

Netflix has appointed Naomi Bulochnikov-Paul, a seasoned communications executive from Disney, as its new Vice President of Series Communications. Bulochnikov-Paul, who recently departed Disney after an eight-year tenure, will be responsible for overseeing communications strategy for Netflix's extensive television portfolio. This includes scripted and unscripted series, documentaries, consumer products, and emerging content areas such as live events and sports.

The move signals Netflix's continued investment in strengthening its corporate communications team as it navigates the competitive streaming landscape. Bulochnikov-Paul's extensive experience at Disney, where she most recently served as EVP of Communications, is expected to be a significant asset in managing the public relations for Netflix's diverse and high-profile television offerings. Her appointment comes as the streamer also faces strategic questions, such as the reasons behind the departure of the "Stranger Things" creative team to rival studios.
