On the 30th episode of Immigration Today! Angeline Chen interviews Keya Koul. Keya Koul is Business & Legal Affairs Counsel at Netflix. She serves as one of the co-leads of the Pro Bono Committee in the LA office and has been with Netflix for nearly four years. Keya currently holds an American Bar Association (ABA) Presidential Appointment to the Commission on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI). Prior to working at Netflix, Keya served as the Director of Career Services at University of San Francisco School of Law. Before that, Keya practiced law in New Mexico for nearly a decade, during which time she was named a Super Lawyers Rising Star. She received her J.D. from Southwestern Law School and obtained her masters from UCLA. She is the eldest daughter of immigrants from Srinagar, Kashmir, India. She speaks English, Spanish, Hindi, Kashmiri, and a little bit of French and Arabic. Keya is passionate about diversity, inclusion, and equity, and believes strongly in giving back through public service and pro bono work.
On this podcast, she talks to us about what her journey growing up as the daughter of Indian immigrant parents was like, her journey in her career and her transition into an in-house attorney at Netflix and what living in LA has been like for her. Keya also talks to us about her battle with cancer in 2014 and how that changed the trajectory of her life. In many ways, her decision to join Netflix as an in-house attorney is tied to her desire to live life in the moment. With her background in entertainment law, her love for social justice, and learning new languages, she found the perfect career for her.
