Pluto TV has appointed Shampa Banerjee as the company’s new chief product officer and Scott Reich to serve as the new senior VP of programming.

In her position, Banerjee will oversee the product roadmap, designing and developing the experience of users, distribution partners, content partners and advertisers. She will report to CEO Tom Ryan. Reich, meanwhile, will oversee and execute the programming strategy behind Pluto TV’s growing slate of content.

Banerjee joins Pluto TV from Eros Digital at Eros International. Reich most recently served as general manager at Fullscreen Media.

Tom Ryan, Pluto TV CEO and co-founder, said: “Shampa is a global product leader with deep experience in creating delightful experiences for consumers and rapid growth for the companies she helps lead. We are excited to welcome her to Pluto TV as we continue our mission to entertain the planet.”

Ryan added: “Scott’s diverse programming and management experience will be a great asset to Pluto TV. Pluto TV was created to solve the problem of what to watch. How, why and where we program our titles is what makes the Pluto experience one-of-a-kind, and it was important that we hired someone with experience in all aspects of content across all platforms.”
