Behind the Scenes

In investing one mostly hears from the CEO, CFO, and investor relations. It is important to dig deeper.
One vital function is the Chief Technology Office (CTO).
Here for example is an excellent post from the outgoing CTO of New York Times.
The legal department is also interesting. Here is a fascinating podcast featuring the general counsel of Netflix.
Incidentally also the first lawyer hired by the company when they were still sending DVDs and who now heads up a team of 650 people.
