Harvard University has taken a major step toward inclusivity and global representation by appointing two Indian-o rigin professionals—Anjali Sud and Sanjay Seth—to influential leadership roles. These appointments mark a continued push toward diverse voices and forward-thinking leadership within one of the world’s top academic institutions.
Anjali Sud: From Tech Executive to Harvard Board Member
Anjali Sud, widely recognized for her leadership in the digital space, has been named to the Harvard Board ofOverseers. Raised in Flint, Michigan by Punjabi immigrant parents, Sud earned her MBA from Harvard in 2011. Her journey to success has been nothing short of extraordinary—from leading Vimeo’s transformation into a SaaS powerhouse to becoming the CEO of Fox Corporation’s streaming service Tubi in 2023.
While at Vimeo, she oversaw the company’s IPO in 2021 and helped redefine its identity in the tech world. Her prior experience includes leadership roles at Amazon, SiriusXM, Time Warner, and Sagent Advisors. Beyond her executive achievements, she holds board positions at Dolby Laboratories and Change.org and has a net worth estimated at $8.52 million as of May 2025.
Sud’s presence on the Board of Overseers is timely, as she advocates for the integration of digital tools into academic models. She often speaks about the need for educational institutions to keep pace with technological advancements and is committed to mentoring young, diverse talent.
Sanjay Seth: Driving Sustainability from Harvard to the EPA
Joining Sud is Sanjay Seth, who has been elected to the Harvard Alumni Association’s Board of Directors. Beginning his three-year term on July 1, 2025, Seth brings with him a legacy of climate activism and public service. He holds dual master’s degrees from Harvard—one in Public Administration and another in Urban Planning—and completed his undergraduate studies at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Seth’s career spans key roles in climate resilience and equity, including as Chief of Staff at the US Environmental Protection Agency and policy roles in Boston and New York City. At Harvard, he co-founded the Alumni for Climate and the Environment group and launched the Climate Leaders Program to bridge departmental efforts on environmental solutions.
A Vision for Inclusive and Impactful Leadership
These two appointments underscore the expanding global impact of Indian-origin professionals. Both Sud and Seth bring fresh perspectives in tech, climate, and policy, helping Harvard evolve as a modern institution. Their contributions will not only shape the university’s strategic future but also highlight the growing importance of diversity in leadership on the world stage.
