The VP of IT at Netflix oversees 111 employees and is responsible for corporate technology, the data center, networking, telecom, and information security. His aggressive goal is to move Netflix IT to 100% public cloud usage within 12 months. He advocates for a social, mobile, analytics, and cloud-focused approach where everything is mobile and metrics-driven. Key areas include social business, big data analytics, cloud computing that shifts from capital to operating expenses, and supporting the consumerization of IT through a "use any device" security model. The CIO role must focus on innovation, involvement, and acting as a strategic consultant rather than an enforcer in order to remain relevant in a changing technology landscape.
