Prior to Tubi, she was CEO of Vimeo, during which time she took the company public and grew its user base to over 300 million, according to a press release. Her background, including e-commerce, sales and finance roles at companies like Time Warner and Amazon, encompasses overseeing digital media, ad-supported and subscription streaming businesses and tech and entertainment platforms. All of that will come into play at SiriusXM, which also owns Pandora and a vast podcast network. “I am honored to lead SiriusXM in its next chapter,” Sud said in a statement about her appointment. “Premium audio experiences will be more important than ever to the future of entertainment, and I believe SiriusXM can evolve to lead that future. Since joining the board, I have gained a deeper appreciation for the company’s strengths and potential. I look forward to working with the team to execute with ambition and expand value for our subscribers, advertisers, artists, creators, talent, partners and shareholders.” On Oct. 29, Sirius released its third quarter earnings for 2026 , showing a boost of 5,000 subscribers in the quarter and steady advertising revenue, with net income rising 6.7% for the quarter to $317 million. Its stock rose 4% on its earnings announcement. “Anjali has built some of the most successful consumer entertainment platforms,” SiriusXM’s chairman of the board Greg Maffei said in a statement. “In her previous roles, she scaled audiences, expanded platforms and led businesses supported by both advertising and subscription models. As a member of our Board, she has intimate knowledge of our business and strategy. With her digital media experience, CEO-level success and board perspective, we are confident Anjali will hit the ground running and build on our momentum as we continue to execute against our objectives. We believe she will be an outstanding CEO for SiriusXM.” Witz, who is described as having stepped down from her role, oversaw a change-heavy period for the company, as it launched a new app, doubled down on its in-car subscription experience, launched a $7 low-cost streaming tier and expanded its podcast holdings. The company went through layoffs as it shifted from ad sales towards a subscription base, and now expects to end 2026 with $8.55 billion in revenue, accord
