Former Netflix CFO Barry McCarthy Joins Eventbrite’s Board Of Directors

On the heels of raising a whopping $50 million in venture capital, Eventbrite will announce today that former Netflix CFO Barry McCarthy has joined the company’s board of directors. McCarthy was Netflix's chief financial officer for nearly 12 years, from before the DVD rental company went public and during its transition to a hugely popular Internet video streaming service provider. Netflix recently reported $719 million in revenues for the first quarter of 2011. Barry McCarthy stepped down last December, following "a desire to pursue broader executive opportunities outside the company".
