Netflix hires Stan’s Amanda Duthie as ANZ content director
Stan head of originals Amanda Duthie is set to be Netflix ANZ’s next content director.
Duthie’s move to the rival streamer follows the surprise departure of former content director Que Minh Luu in April, who was the first content-focused hire for Netflix in this territory.
In her four years at Stan, Duthie has helped steer the Nine platform’s ambitious plans to release 30 originals per year by 2025, bringing to screen titles such as Wolf Like Me, The Tourist, Bad Behaviour, Black Snow, Transfusion, Ten Pound Poms, Totally Completely Fine, Nude Tuesday, Year Of and Bump.
Netflix is uncompetitive and gouging customers. There is no rescue. Stan is much better. Keep Amanda, it won’t change it.
