Netflix executive Vernā Myers shares how the streamer improved Black representation at the company and the efforts it is making to improve diversity on its shows and staff.

A review of senior leadership at the six major media companies shows that the top ranks remain overwhelmingly white.

In your recent report, you talk about “spotting bias” in the interview process. Can you elaborate on that? There’s this very pesky bias issue called in group favoritism, which quite unconsciously, we just love ourselves.

The report also says that the company is not where it wants to be and needs to do better. Where do you want to be?I don’t think we want to limit it to a percentage. Part of our way of doing things is always incremental improvement. The North Star for us is that we would create the kind of access and be so attractive as a company that percentages would be limiting rather than leading.
