In her newly created position, Brace will serve as the digital sales lead for FNG, working to align advertiser spending with the growth in viewership across non-linear and digital platforms. She will report to Executive Vice President of Non-Linear Revenue David Levy, with whom she worked at true[X], a leading engagement ad company acquired by 21st Century Fox in 2015.

Levy said: 'I know firsthand Meredith's extraordinary ability to build, nurture and lead a sales team that delivers amazing value to advertisers by transforming their digital strategies and introducing them to highly effective new ad platforms. She has been an instrumental part of the team at true[X], and I know that she will have the same impact in her new role at Fox.'
