Netflix's Ken Florance: The Man Who Keeps the Video Streaming
(Business Week): http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-07-24/netflixs-content-delivery-chief-endures-isp-streaming-fees
"Ken Florance wasn't born in Northern California, but his biography
reads like a CliffsNotes version of the area's countercultural
history. He dropped out of school and, in between Grateful Dead
concerts and acid trips, made a pilgrimage to the Oregon home of Ken
Kesey, the novelist and proponent of psychedelia. In the 1980s and
'90s, Florance taught himself IT and eventually worked his way into
the first dot-com boom, managing large websites and learning the inner
workings of the Internet. Now 51, he shuffles barefoot each morning
into the garage of his Santa Cruz home to kneel before a Buddhist
shrine and meditate for an hour before heading to work. His office is
in the headquarters of Netflix (NFLX), where Florance is the vice
president for content delivery."
