Reacting to the appointment, Banga said, “I look forward to supporting Imperial in this next phase of its journey as it seeks to leverage its excellence in research and education in science, engineering, medicine, and business to the benefit of our wider society.”
Banga previously worked at Unilever for more than three decades, during which he served as the president of global foods, home, and personal care businesses.

The president of Imperial College London Hugh Brady highlighted that Banga’s experience will play a crucial role as the college is planning to launch a new strategy. “I look forward to drawing on his considerable corporate and business knowledge in the years ahead,” he said.
John Cullen, outgoing deputy chair and senior independent member of Imperial’s Council, said, “I am delighted that Imperial has such a talented and experienced council. Under Vindi’s (Manvinder) chairmanship, I look forward to helping Imperial meet its bold ambition and vision for the future.”
