Anjali Sud has been appointed as the new CEO of SiriusXM.
SiriusXM announced on Monday that Sud, currently the CEO of Fox-owned streaming platform Tubi, will take charge from January 1, 2027. She will succeed Jennifer Witz, who is stepping down after nearly 25 years with the company, including almost six years as its CEO. Witz will remain with SiriusXM in an advisory role until the end of 2027. Sud, who has served as an independent director on SiriusXM’s board since March 2025, brings experience in digital media, streaming, technology and advertising-supported businesses. In July 2017, she became CEO of Vimeo, taking charge of the video platform as it shifted its focus towards providing software and tools for content creators and businesses rather than competing directly with traditional streaming services. In September 2023, Sud joined Tubi as its CEO.
“I am honored to lead SiriusXM in its next chapter,” Sud said in a statement. SiriusXM chairman Greg Maffei said Sud had built successful consumer entertainment platforms and had experience scaling audiences and expanding businesses supported by advertising and subscriptions. Her appointment comes as the audio entertainment company looks to strengthen its position amid changing consumer listening habits and competition from digital platforms. “Premium audio experiences will be more important than ever to the future of entertainment, and I believe SiriusXM can evolve to lead that future. The Fox-owned platform offers free, ad-supported movies and television shows, positioning itself as an alternative to subscription-based streaming services. Sud’s appointment signals an increased focus on digital media and streaming as the company navigates competition from music and podcast platforms.
