Anjali Sud named new CEO of SiriusXM starting January 1

SiriusXM announced that Anjali Sud, former CEO of Fox's Tubi streaming service, will become its new chief executive starting January 1, 2027, replacing Jennifer Witz who is stepping down after nearly 25 years at the company, Deadline reported.

Jennifer Witz will continue to serve in an advisory role at SiriusXM through the end of 2027, according to Hollywood Reporter. Sud has been on SiriusXM's board since March 2025 and recently left Tubi following Fox's acquisition of Roku.

Anjali Sud led Tubi's growth into a significant streaming service with over 110 million monthly active users and expanded its global reach. Prior to Tubi, she was CEO of Vimeo, where she took the company public and grew its user base to 300 million, Variety noted.

Greg Maffei, chairman of SiriusXM's board, praised Sud's experience in scaling consumer entertainment platforms and her knowledge of SiriusXM's business, expressing confidence in her ability to build on the company's momentum, Hollywood Reporter and Variety reported.

SiriusXM has recently expanded into podcasting and artist-centered audio channels, aiming to broaden its audience. Sud's background in digital media and subscription models is expected to support these efforts, according to Variety.

The leadership change comes as Fox reorganizes its digital properties post-Roku acquisition, with Sud transitioning from Fox to SiriusXM to lead the audio company into the future, Hollywood Reporter added.
