She comes on board with 14 years of experience in the industry. Earlier, she has been associated with advertising agencies such as Leo Burnett and JWT and has handled accounts for brands such as Horlicks, ICI Dulux, Coca-Cola, GSK and SBI.

Banerjee holds a Masters degree in communication from Clarion College of Communication.

Keertan Adyanthaya, managing director, FOX International Channels and National Geographic Network India, says in an official communiqué, "As part of our leadership team, Banerjee will spearhead marketing and communications for the network channels. She comes with a rich experience of working on the strategy for diverse international brands and under her leadership, we are confident that our brands across the channels will be strengthened even further."
