Koala hires Netflix’s Peter Sloterdyk as first CMO

Disruptive Australian furniture brand Koala has appointed its first chief marketing officer, Peter Sloterdyk, who has held similar roles at both Netflix and Grindr.

The global role is supposed to be based out of Sydney, however Sloterdyk’s relocation from Los Angeles has been delayed due to the lockdowns and travel bans associated with COVID-19 (coronavirus).

Sloterdyk will move over with his husband and two dogs when international circumstances allow

For now, Sloterdyk will be based in the United States, until he can complete the move to Sydney.
