    MUMBAI: Anthony Zameczkowski has joined Netflix as vice president, business development for Asia-Pacific. A senior executive with more than 17 years’ experience in the media and technology industry, Zameczkowski’s new role at Netflix includes leading and managing strategic partnerships and business development in the region.
