Sometimes things just work out for the best. Such is the case with David Hyman. A one-time ski bum, Hyman followed the slope of life all the way to the general counsel chair at Netflix Inc.
Growing up outside of Washington, D.C., Hyman spent his formative years in the shadow of the Capitol and eventually migrated a few hours southwest to the University of Virginia. After college, he drifted into politics, working for former Virginia Sen. Chuck Robb’s campaign before heading west to Colorado for a season to ski. Following the wintry respite, Hyman returned to Virginia to work on Don Beyer’s lieutenant governor campaign. It was at this time that an interest in policy and legislative issues spurred an interest in law school.
