Elita Fielder Adjei has been appointed Vice President of Corporate Communications for National Geographic Content. The newly created role will find Adjei responsible for the company’s overall communications strategy in order to raise its profile and build on its reputation in the industry.
Adjei, who previously served as Director of Communications and Publicity for Disney Media Entertainment and Distribution, will be responsible for leading the internal and external communications for National Geographic content.
Adjei will report to Courteney Munro, President of National Geographic Content, and Charissa Gilmore, Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications at Disney General Entertainment.
“Elita’s Force of Nature approach to her work fits National Geographic perfectly,” Munro and Gilmore said in a joint statement. “Her passion and creativity set her strategies apart and drive results, while her motivational energy is absolutely contagious. We are excited to start our business together.”
At Disney Media Entertainment and Distribution, Adjei oversaw communications for the eight owned ABC stations, developing strategic business communications initiatives for the individual stations and the Owned Stations group.
“It has been an honor to lead corporate communications for ABC-owned television stations for the past two years, and I am proud of what we have accomplished together during the global pandemic,” Adji said. “While I have had the privilege of leading corporate communication strategies across various industries, I have never had the pleasure of growing within The Walt Disney Company and leading corporate communications for National Geographic’s award-winning content. I am pleased to work directly with Courteney, Charissa, and talented executives and teams across Disney General Entertainment and National Geographic Content”.
Adjei brings years of experience to National Geographic Content, a division of Disney that develops and produces fact-based programming for the Disney+ and Linear National Geographic networks. Prior to her work with Disney, the CEO held communications positions at Kaiser Permanente, Memorial Hermann Health System, GAC, Aggreko, and Leigh Steinberg Enterprises.
