Indian American media executive Anjali Sud has been appointed chief executive officer of SiriusXM, effective Jan. 1, 2027. She will succeed Jennifer Witz, who will step down after more than two decades with the company and remain an adviser through the end of 2027.
Sud, 43, has served as an independent director on SiriusXM’s board since March 2025. That experience gives her direct knowledge of the company’s strategy as she prepares to lead one of America’s largest audio entertainment businesses, whose services include SiriusXM, Pandora and a broad podcast network.
She joins SiriusXM after serving as CEO of Tubi since 2023. Under her leadership, the Fox-owned streaming platform expanded internationally, reached more than 110 million monthly active users and achieved profitable growth. Her work at Tubi combined advertising-supported entertainment, digital distribution and audience expansion.
Before Tubi, Sud served as CEO of Vimeo from 2017 to 2023. She led the video platform through its public listing and helped develop it into a global business serving approximately 300 million users. Earlier in her career, she held roles in media, finance, e-commerce and marketing at Amazon and Time Warner.
Born in Detroit to immigrants from India and raised in Flint, Michigan, Sud is a first-generation Indian American. She earned a bachelor’s degree in economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
Sud also serves on the boards of Dolby Laboratories and Change.org. Her professional honors include recognition on Fortune’s 40 Under 40 and Adweek’s Power List. She is a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader and a Henry Crown Fellow at the Aspen Institute.
At SiriusXM, Sud will oversee a company operating across satellite radio, digital audio, podcasts, music, sports, talk programming and advertising. The company said her experience building both subscription-supported and advertising-supported platforms will help guide its next phase.
Her appointment places an Indian American executive with experience leading two major streaming platforms at the helm of a prominent U.S. media company. It also marks another significant leadership milestone for South Asian Americans in technology, entertainment and public-company management.
