SiriusXM has promoted Sean Gibbons to Senior Vice President and Chief Product and Technology Officer, overseeing product and technology operations across SiriusXM and Pandora.

Gibbons will report to SiriusXM CEO Jennifer Witz and join the company's Executive Leadership Team. His responsibilities include 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."

Among Gibbons' priorities will be advancing SiriusXM with 360L and the company's next generation of in-car experiences, developing its long-term technology roadmap across satellite, broadcast and streaming platforms and applying artificial intelligence to personalization, discovery and customer service.

Gibbons said the company has an opportunity to combine the reach and reliability of satellite with streaming and AI to improve how listeners discover and interact with content.

"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," he said.

Gibbons joined Sirius in 2000, before the company's first satellite launch, and has held leadership positions in 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 service across mobile, web and connected-home platforms.

Most recently, Gibbons led SiriusXM's Automotive organization, overseeing product, user experience, engineering and automotive partnerships as the company expanded its connected in-vehicle offerings and hybrid satellite and internet-based services.
