Speaking On: Digital Kids Conference on Feb. 18th & 19th
Todd S. Yellin has enjoyed a career dedicated to film and TV entertainment—a good part of it focused around delivering great content to kids. His current role as VP of Product Innovation for Netflix revolves around changing the way tens of millions of members find great streaming content to watch over the internet on their TVs, computers and mobile devices. He is responsible for the member and non-member experiences across hundreds of devices and the algorithms that make it easy to find something great to watch. Three years ago he created a great place for kids to watch a wide variety of great content on Netflix.
Before Netflix, as a documentarian, Todd became the only person ever to film Tibetan children escaping over the Himalayas; the footage was shown worldwide by Reuters. His written account was published in The Progressive and syndicated by the New York Times. He also wrote/directed a short documentary for British TV on political oppression in Myanmar (Burma), which was broadcast throughout Europe.
