Today, I’m humbled to step into leading @tubi.
My belief in Tubi goes back to day one as an early investor, drawn to its mission to give all people access to all the world’s stories, and my belief in @farhadm's vision having studied and worked with him for the preceding decade. arly believer to helping build Tubi has been one of the great privileges of my career.
Under @anjsud's leadership, Tubi has grown from a challenger into a force in streaming. She has championed greater access, creative expression, and helping every fan feel seen, while protecting what makes Tubi special: taking big swings, staying nimble, and betting on our people.
Anjali, I’m a better leader because of you, and I’ll carry what I’ve learned from you throughout my career. Your trust and partnership have meant the world to me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everything you’ve given Tubi and for the example you’ve set for all of us. I’ll miss working with you every day, learning from you, and being inspired by your leadership.
I’m grateful to @paulcheesbrough for his conviction in acquiring Tubi 6 years ago now and for creating the environment that has made it reach the heights that I could not have imagined 10 years ago. I’m also so excited to work even more closely with Pete Distad who has had an incredible track record of building some of the most prominent businesses and brands in streaming, and is someone who will no doubt help accelerate Tubi in its next chapter.
Our 110M+ fans bring the passion that makes Tubi special. Our partners, from Hollywood studios to independent creators, give them a world of stories to explore. And our advertisers help keep that world open to everyone, for free. Thank you for making Tubi what it is.
Looking ahead, I want to build on that promise: more stories that speak to people, more ways to celebrate what they love, and a path for more storytellers to find an audience. We have an extraordinary opportunity to help shape how stories are created, discovered, and experienced.
And to the people of Tubi: you ROCK! You are the pulse of this company. You bring the ideas, the craft, and the insane drive that you have to turn this mission into something our fans experience every day. Working with you has made me believe there is nothing we cannot achieve. I’m proud to be one of you, and deeply honored to work with you in this new role 💜

Fox Corp. emphasized its position that it will preserve Roku as an "open ecosystem for the broader streaming industry.” Meaning that it won't, say, give advantageous positioning to Fox News or Fox One on Roku.
