Netflix has hired Dani Dudeck as chief communications officer, effective Jan. 12.
She will join the streamer from Instacart, where she served as chief corporate affairs officer during a more than seven-year run.

Dudeck will report to Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos, who noted that she has worked for some of the world’s fastest companies.
