Patty McCord
Principal
Patty McCord Consulting (Former Chief Talent Officer, Netflix)
Patty McCord brings the Silicon
Valley concepts of fresh ideas and innovation and applies them to
rethinking the way we work. She challenges norms and invites us to
reconsider the idea of “best practices.”
From her
many years working with companies that range from very large global
tech companies to small very small innovative start-ups, Patty
saw first-hand how companies can become slow and complacent, and
employees become cynics and whiners. She spent 14 years at Netflix
experimenting with new ways to work, making the
Netflix culture deck become a reality for the people who
work there. From abolishing performance reviews to challenging the
need for policies, Patty believes people come to work as fully
formed adults with a desire to make an impact and be proud of what
they do, and she’s on a mission to spread the word that we can do
this differently. She is frequently in the media with interviews and
articles from Harvard Business Review, NPR, Fast
Company and the Wall Street Journal. She speaks at CEO
Forums, business schools, and large groups around the world.
