Sud’s appointment comes after Jennifer Witz, who has been CEO of SiriusXM for nearly six years, decided to step down after about 25 years with the company. Witz expressed pride in her tenure, noting that SiriusXM is now generating its best financial metrics in years, with record-high customer satisfaction and record-low churn.
Sud’s experience in scaling audiences and expanding platforms, as well as her success in leading businesses supported by both advertising and subscription models, is expected to benefit SiriusXM. She previously took Vimeo public and grew its user base to over 300 million.
SiriusXM’s chairman of the board, Greg Maffei, said, 'Anjali has built some of the most successful consumer entertainment platforms.' He added, 'We are confident Anjali will hit the ground running and build on our momentum as we continue to execute against our objectives.'
SiriusXM’s latest financials show the company expects to end 2026 with $8.55 billion in revenue. The company reported a boost of 5,000 subscribers in the third quarter of 2026, with net income rising 6.7% to $317 million.
Sud’s leadership at Tubi, where she scaled the business to more than 110 million monthly active users and expanded globally, is expected to help SiriusXM broaden its appeal. SiriusXM also owns Pandora and a vast podcast network.
SiriusXM’s stock price was up about 1% in premarket trading, reflecting investor optimism about the new leadership.
