Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) on Friday disclosed that its principal accounting officer Ken Barker resigned, effective Oct. 7.
The streaming giant said Barker's resignation was a personal decision and not the result of any disagreement.
NFLX CFO Spencer Neumann will assume the role of principal accounting officer, effective immediately, while the firm searches for a permanent replacement.
Earlier in the day, WSJ reported that NFLX will move to a licensing modelÂ for comedy specials on its platform as it seeks to cut costs.
