Susan Rice, who left her post as domestic policy advisor to President Biden last May, has rejoined Netflix’s board of directors.
In two-plus years in the Biden Administration, Rice oversaw a number of complex and controversial initiatives related to immigration, gun control and student loan relief. She had previously served as President Barack Obama’s national security adviser and U.N. ambassador.

After wearing two hats at Touchstone Television and ABC for nearly three years, Mark Pedowitz is relinquishing his responsibilities at ABC to focus solely on his duties as president of the Touchstone TV production unit.
Pedowitz, a 15-year veteran of ABC, will no longer serve as executive vp of ABC Entertainment Television Group. His responsibility for overseeing business affairs functions for ABC Entertainment, ABC Daytime and SoapNet will be assumed by Jana Winograde, executive vp of ABC Entertainment, who has worked under Pedowitz for the past decade.
Pedowitz was promoted to the executive vp post at ABC Entertainment in 1999. He was given the additional responsibility as president of Touchstone in April 2004. Pedowitz had reported to Anne Sweeney, president of Disney-ABC Television Group, in both of his realms. With the shift, Winograde will report to ABC Entertainment president Stephen McPherson and Brian Frons, president of daytime at Disney-ABC Television Group.
The handover of Pedowitz's ABC responsibilities comes as Touchstone TV is in the midst of its most prolific season ever, with 19 series spread among multiple broadcast and cable networks.
