Netflix is an American subscription streaming service and marketing CEO Usman Sheikh's favourite brand. Usman has been with Netflix from the DVD rental days of the early 2000s all the way up to the present. It's the company's boldness that compels him: a brand unafraid to step into the unknown, leading the way and disrupting the status quo. And, he believes, it all comes back to good storytelling.
