Two weeks after Soumya Sriraman abruptly left her position as U.S. head of Prime Video Channels at Amazon, the home entertainment veteran has a new job: president of streaming at the Qurate Retail Group, the parent company of QVC and HSN.
In the newly created role, the company said in a press release, Sriraman will lead Qurate Retail’s streaming commerce business, including the QVC+ and HSN+ streamers as well as the company’s growing live-streaming ventures.

She joined BritBox when it launched in the United States in 2017 and oversaw its growth to more than 1.5 million subscribers.
