SiriusXM Names Tubi Chief Anjali Sud as Its Next CEO
SiriusXM has named Anjali Sud as its next chief executive officer, the person who runs the company day to day. She starts on 1 January 2027. The company announced the appointment on 9 November 2026.
Sud is currently chief executive of Tubi, a free streaming service that is paid for by advertisements and owned by Fox. She has led Tubi since 2023. She has also sat on the SiriusXM board since March 2025, when the company announced her appointment as a director. That earlier announcement described Tubi as the most watched free TV and movie streaming service in the United States.
She replaces Jennifer C. Witz, who has been SiriusXM's chief executive since 2021. Witz first joined the company in 2002, so her time there runs more than two decades. She will stay on as an adviser to the company until the end of 2027, which gives the handover a long runway.
SiriusXM runs satellite and internet radio services, with channels covering music, talk and sports. Its listeners reach it through car systems, phone apps and home devices. Running a business like that means managing subscriptions, advertising sales and a large catalogue of programming, and the new chief executive will take all three on from the start of the new year.
Sud's move is a switch from a streaming platform to an audio company. Tubi is a video service that makes money from ads shown to viewers who pay nothing to watch. SiriusXM sells paid subscriptions alongside advertising, so the business models overlap in some places and differ in others.
For now, the dates are the clearest part of the news. Witz remains in charge until Sud takes over on 1 January 2027, and Witz stays as an adviser through the end of 2027.
