SVP Upgrade For SXM’s Sean Gibbons
• SiriusXM has promoted Sean Gibbons to Senior Vice President, Chief Product and Technology Officer, reporting to CEO Jennifer Witz and joining the Company’s Executive Leadership Team.
In this expanded role, Gibbons will lead product and technology across SiriusXM and Pandora, with responsibility for product strategy and development, technology platforms and engineering, automotive and streaming distribution partnerships, and advertising technology.
“Sean has helped shape SiriusXM through some of our most important product and technology transformations, including the development and successful rollout of SiriusXM with 360L,” said Witz. “He brings more than two decades of experience, deep knowledge of our business and a strong track record of bringing together teams, technology and partnerships to deliver for consumers. Sean is a highly respected leader and the right person to help us accelerate innovation, improve the customer experience and advance the products, platforms and partnerships that will support our growth.”
Gibbons joined Sirius in 2000, before the company’s first satellite launch, and has held leadership roles spanning product management, engineering, automotive, streaming, content technology and strategic partnerships. During his tenure, he established SiriusXM’s first formal Product Management organization and later founded and led its first Streaming organization, expanding the SiriusXM experience across mobile, web and connected-home platforms. Most recently, Gibbons led SiriusXM’s Automotive organization.
“SiriusXM has a unique set of assets and a tremendous opportunity to make them work together even more powerfully for listeners,” said Gibbons. “We can pair the reach and reliability of satellite with the flexibility of streaming and the intelligence of AI to make it easier for people to discover what they love, stay connected wherever they listen and participate more deeply in the content and moments that matter to them. I’m excited to take on this role and help shape the next generation of the SiriusXM experience.”
