Episode notes
Netflix is best known for entertainment—but behind the scenes, it’s a company built to move fast. This mindset shows up in places most people never get to see, including how Netflix designs sales incentive compensation while the ads side of its business evolves. In this episode of The Sales Compensation Show, Forma.ai CEO Nabeil Alazzam sits down with Nathan Rosas, Director of Global Sales Incentive Compensation at Netflix. Nathan brings a rare vantage point on different cultures and operating models having built compensation programs across Microsoft, Amazon, and now Netflix. Together, the two explore how senior Sales Comp and RevOps leaders can join forces to build incentive programs that land cleanly and keep pace with change, even when balancing the relational work involved with stakeholders across the org.
