Oyster, the eBook subscription service that has been described as a Netflix for books, has hired Jeannie Mun as the company’s first CFO. The company has also hired Barry McCarthy, as a new advisor.

Mun comes to Oyster from advertising technology company MediaMath. “Jeannie’s not only an impressive and experienced executive—she’s also an enthusiastic Oyster reader herself,” explains the Oyster blog. “Recently, she’s been reading the Berenstain Bears on Oyster to her kids, and she used our travel selection to guide her on a last-minute trip to Panama in February.”

McCarthy previously served as the CFO of Netflix. He is also on the boards of Spotify, Rent the Runway, Chegg, Eventbrite, NatureBox and Wealthfront.
