During her six-year tenure, Sahar Elhabashi significantly increased Spotify's podcast audience from under 10 million to over 150 million listeners, establishing a strong market presence.
Spotify has decided to transition its podcast strategy by moving away from exclusive deals with major podcasters, like Joe Rogan, due to disappointing ad sales performance.
Sahar Elhabashi's upcoming departure has been officially communicated to Spotify's podcast team, outlining a leadership transition that includes Roman Wasenmüller stepping in temporarily.
Despite recent leadership changes and layoffs, Spotify's podcast division is expected to achieve full-year profitability in 2024, driven by robust ad revenue growth.
