Fox’s streaming service Tubi said it hired Anjali Sud to be its CEO, effective Sept. 1. Sud had been CEO of Vimeo. She succeeds Tubi founder Farhad Massoudi as CEO and reports to Paul Cheesbrough, who is CEO of Fox’s recently formed Tubi Media Group.
Video-hosting platform Vimeo’s CEO Anjali Sud will leave the company next month to pursue other opportunities. Sud, a former Amazon executive, who joined the company nine years ago as director of marketing, was at the helm of Vimeo for the past six years. Board member Adam Gross, a former Salesforce and Dropbox executive, will take over as interim CEO, effective Sept. 1, while the company looks for a permanent replacement.
Vimeo CEO Anjali Sud really wants people to know that the online video company is no longer a competitor to YouTube. “Today we do not view YouTube as a competitor. We really think of ourselves as a software-as-a-services company like a Slack, like a Dropbox, like a Zoom,” Sud says.
