Netflix Inc, which fired its chief spokesman last week for racially insensitive remarks, is overhauling its human-resources effort to build a workforce that looks more like its global customers: less male, more Latino and more black. 

Netflix has hired an executive to lead its diversity and inclusion campaign after a months-long search, according to the company, which declined to provide the name of the individual. The opening was listed on its website as recently as two weeks ago.
