“Anjali has an incredible track record on the cutting edge of media and technology, and has a deep understanding for what it takes to succeed today. She will be an asset to the Board and to the company as a whole as we look to maintain our strong standing and to position ourselves for future growth,” said Jennifer Witz, Chief Executive Officer of SiriusXM. “Adding Anjali’s perspective and experience serves to further strengthen our Board, and I look forward to working with her.”
Sud said, “As a fan of SiriusXM and a big believer in the power of audio and delivering entertainment to audiences where they want it, I am looking forward to working with Jennifer, the Board, and the entire management team as the company looks to leverage its strengths and focus its efforts in this next chapter of the business. SiriusXM has played an important role in shaping the audio landscape, and I’m excited to bring my insights to the Board as SiriusXM positions itself to continue to deliver long-term financial success.”
Vice Chairman James E. Meyer also resigned from the Board. Meyer first joined SiriusXM in 2004 and served as Chief Executive Officer from December 2012 through December 2020.
“It’s been an honor to serve on SiriusXM’s Board, and to continue to watch the company evolve under Jennifer’s leadership,” said Meyer. “I am extremely proud of all that SiriusXM has accomplished since I first arrived over two decades ago, of the unparalleled audio entertainment the company delivers to listeners across North America and the value it brings to its stockholders. While I believe now is the right time to complete my Board service, I remain a passionate supporter – and subscriber – of SiriusXM, and I am confident that Jennifer, Greg Maffei, and the entire Board will ensure the company continues to thrive.”
Witz added, “It has been a privilege to work with Jim for all these years, and having his guidance on the Board has been invaluable to the company. On behalf of the company, the Board and all of our employees, we thank Jim for all his contributions and commitment to SiriusXM and wish him all the best.”
