SiriusXM Taps Tubi’s Anjali Sud as Its Next CEO

SiriusXM announced on November 9, 2026 that Anjali Sud will become CEO on January 1, 2027, following Jennifer Witz's decision to step down after almost two and a half decades at the company, according to the company's press release. Witz will remain in an advisory role through the end of 2027. Sud has served as an independent director on the SiriusXM Board since March 2025 and will stay on the board after assuming the CEO role.

Sud currently leads Tubi, where she has grown the free streaming service to more than 110 million monthly active users and driven profitable growth since becoming CEO in 2023, the company said. Before Tubi, she was CEO of Vimeo, taking the company public and transforming it into a profitable global video platform with 300 million users. She previously held roles at Amazon and Time Warner, holds a Wharton undergraduate degree and an MBA from Harvard Business School, and sits on the boards of Dolby Laboratories and Change.org.

Chairman Greg Maffei said Sud has built some of the most successful consumer entertainment platforms, scaling audiences and leading businesses supported by both advertising and subscription models, according to the release. He added that her board experience gives her intimate knowledge of SiriusXM's business and strategy, and the company is confident she will hit the ground running.

Maffei credited Witz with extraordinary contributions over 25 years, including nearly six years as CEO, expanding in-car penetration and 360L rollouts, solidifying the premium subscription business with record-high customer satisfaction and record-low churn, securing an exclusive advertising partnership with YouTube, and building one of the nation's leading podcast networks, the release stated. He said SiriusXM is now generating its best core financial metrics in years, returning to revenue growth and near-record free cash flow.

Witz said leading SiriusXM has been the most meaningful experience of her career and expressed pride in strengthening the subscriber experience, expanding the advertising business, and unlocking greater value across the portfolio, according to the release. She said she firmly believes SiriusXM is on a strong path and that now is the time for a transition, adding she will remain a lifelong subscriber and supporter.

Sud said she is honored to lead SiriusXM in its next chapter, noting that premium audio experiences will be more important than ever to the future of entertainment, the release quoted. She said she has gained a deeper appreciation for the company's strengths and potential since joining the board and looks forward to executing with ambition and expanding value for subscribers, advertisers, artists, creators, talent, partners, and shareholders.

SiriusXM describes itself as the leading audio entertainment company in North America with a portfolio including its flagship subscription service, Pandora, an expansive podcast network, and advertising solutions through SiriusXM Media and AdsWizz, reaching approximately 255 million monthly listeners across its platforms, according to the company.
