Insider: Bozoma Saint John Took $7 Million Payday to Leap to Netflix (Exclusive)

Bozoma Saint John, marketing executive extraordinaire, scored big when she took the chief marketing officer gig at Netflix last week, TheWrap has learned. The former Endeavor marketing leader was offered a roughly $7 million payday to work for the streamer, according to an insider familiar with the deal. That package was “dramatically more” than what Saint John was earning at Endeavor, according to the individual. Netflix and Endeavor declined to comment for this article. TheWrap was unable to reach Saint John for comment as well. Saint John, whose contract was up at the end of the year, is just the latest in a slew of notable executives to exit Endeavor. In June, WME lost partner and Worldwide Head of Music Marc Geiger, as well as agent and partner Theresa Kang-Lowe, who left to launch her own management company with an overall deal at Apple TV+. The agency also shed talent agent Sean Grumman, now at Verve’s new talent division, and Duncan Millership now at Anonymous Content.
