Marc Randolph is recognized among Jewish contributors to Economics & Business — Co-founder and first CEO of Netflix (1997), the DVD-by-mail idea that grew into the world's screen.
Born to a Jewish family in Chappaqua — his father Stephen Bernays Randolph an Austrian-born nuclear engineer —, Marc Randolph co-founded Netflix with Reed Hastings in 1997 and was its first chief executive. The idea he prototyped — rent DVDs by mail, no late fees, then a subscription — grew into the service that changed how the planet watches stories. He left in 2003, became a mentor to founders, and wrote the origin story himself: That Will Never Work.
