SiriusXM has announced that CEO Jennifer Witz will step down as CEO on January 1, 2027 with former Tubi CEO Anjali Sud succeeding her.
Witz has led SiriusXM since 2021 and has been with the company since 2002 previously holding roles as President of Sales, Marketing and Operations, EVP/Chief Marketing Officer, and SVP/Finance during her tenure. Witz will remain in an advisory role at the company until the end of 2027.
Sud has served on the SiriusXM Board of Directors since March 2025. She will join SiriusXM from Fox Corporation’s Tubi, which she has served as CEO since September 2023. Sud previously served as CEO for Vimeo from 2017 to 2023 and is also currently a board member of Dolby Laboratories and Change.org. She also has held positions in e-commerce, finance, and media at Amazon and Time Warner.
Sud commented, “I am honored to lead SiriusXM in its next chapter. 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.”
SiriusXM Chairman of the Board Greg Maffei said, “Anjali has built some of the most successful consumer entertainment platforms. 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.”
He continued, “Jennifer has made extraordinary contributions to SiriusXM over her 25-year career, including nearly six years as CEO. Her efforts include expanding in-car penetration and 360L rollouts, solidifying its premium, content-led 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. SiriusXM is now generating its best core financial metrics in years, returning to revenue growth and generating near-record levels of free cash flow. Jennifer is leaving SiriusXM with a strong foundation, and we are grateful for her leadership.”
Jennifer Witz commented, “Leading SiriusXM has been the most meaningful experience of my career,. I am particularly proud of what our team has accomplished in strengthening the subscriber experience, expanding our advertising business, and unlocking greater value across our broader portfolio. I firmly believe that SiriusXM is on a strong path and that now is the time for a transition. Anjali brings the perspective, leadership, and understanding of the business needed to guide the Company forward. While I will be leaving my role as CEO, I’ll remain a lifelong subscriber and supporter of SiriusXM.”
