SiriusXM Holdings Inc. plans to name board member Anjali Sud as its next chief executive officer, according to people familiar with the company’s plans, bringing in a digital media veteran to jump-start the stagnant satellite radio company.
Anjali Sud, who recently led Fox’s Tubi streaming service, will take the reins at satellite broadcaster SiriusXM, a bet that her experience at the Fox service will help broaden the appeal of the Sirius offering. Sud will replace Jennifer Witz, who has worked at SiriusXM for nearly 25 years.
SiriusXM has tapped Tubi CEO Anjali Sud as its new chief executive, effective January 1. Current chief Jennifer Witz is stepping down. News that Sud would depart Tubi came Friday as parent Fox Corp. closed its $22 billion acquisition of Roku, shuffling its org chart.
