Overview

Jeanine D. Liburd is the Chief Social and Communications Officer for BET Networks, an all encompassing job that she is passionate about. Jeanine didn’t start out in communications or TV. Her career began in public policy where she had an early goal to be the mayor of NYC! But she quickly discovered that she could have more influence and do good in greater scale in the media industry. The rest is history! “I became acutely aware of how critical media is in informing people of their rights,” she said, “and also the impact that media and television specifically can have on people’s engagement and their empowerment.”

Liburd was also ready to move back to New York from Washington, D.C. The combination of all of this compelled her to make the move of a lifetime to Viacom and now BET. In the course, Jenaine shares her trajectory of her 19 years with Viacom and will motivate and drive you to explore your own career path.
