Tubi has appointed former Vimeo chief Anjali Sud as CEO.
Sud will assume her new role on September 1, reporting to Paul Cheesbrough, CEO of Tubi Media Group. Her appointment follows a shuffle last spring that saw Tubi founder and former CEO Farhad Massoudi depart the company and Cheesbrough take the reins of his newly created group.

“Anjali is a highly accomplished executive in the technology and media industry with a passion and track record for strategic disruption and authentic leadership,” Cheesbrough said in the announcement of the hire. “She is the perfect candidate to lead Tubi into a new era of creativity, growth and market leadership.”

“We are witnessing a seismic shift in where and how content will be consumed, and I believe that Tubi can become the destination for the next generation of audiences,” Sud said. “The future of streaming TV is free, and I am excited to join the Tubi team to help shape the next wave of entertainment, by giving all people access to all the world’s stories.
