Now that the merger of T-Mobile US and Sprint is inching closer to completion, the long awaited executive shuffle has taken shape. The company detailed the makeup of its senior leadership team in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As previously announced, Mike Sievert, who currently serves as president and COO at T-Mobile US, will assume the position of CEO of the combined company on May 1.
Many other long-time T-Mobile executives will also remain at the company, at least through the merger. The executive team at the new company is primarily comprised of existing T-Mobile US leaders. Of the 18 positions announced, four will be filled by current executives at Sprint.
Braxton Carter, a 7-year veteran at the company, will remain CFO, and Susan Loosmore, who’s been with the company for more than a decade, has been promoted to EVP of financial planning and analysis.
Neville Ray, who was recently promoted to president of technology and has been with the company for 20 years, will remain in that role. Abdul Saad, a 19-year veteran at the company, has been promoted to EVP and CTO, a position that Ray held prior to his promotion.
John Saw, who currently serves as CTO at Sprint, has been named EVP of advanced and emerging technologies at the new company. Cody Sanford, another long-time T-Mobile executive, will continue to serve as EVP and chief information and product officer.
T-Mobile US Names Divisional Leadership Team
The company also announced the executives that will lead its consumer, wholesale, emerging products, and corporate divisions. Jon Freier will continue as EVP of consumer markets and Mike Katz will continue as EVP of T-Mobile for Business, the company’s arm targeted at enterprise customers.
Dow Draper will be promoted to EVP of emerging products, Matt Staneff will continue as EVP and CMO at the company, and Callie Field will continue as EVP of customer care. Janice Kapner will serve as EVP and chief communications officer.
Deeanne King has been tapped to the new position of EVP and chief human resources officer, and Derek Potter, who has served as T-Mobile’s acting human resources lead during the last few months, will be SVP of total rewards and employee experience.
Other corporate leadership will include Peter Ewens as EVP of corporate strategy and development, and Dave Miller as EVP and general counsel and security. Nestor Cano will serve as EVP of integration and transformation, and will serve as a strategic advisor to the CEO.
Jeremy Malasky will serve as SVP of corporate services and chief of staff to the CEO. Finally, Sunit Patel, who has been leading integration planning efforts related to the merger since 2018, is leaving the company.
All of the changes will occur once the merger is finalized, according to T-Mobile US. The company this week cleared some hurdles that still stand in the way of that outcome, including a settlement reached with California’s attorney general. That agreement coincided with a pledge from the state to not appeal a district court judge’s decision that ruled against a group of attorneys general that filed suit to block the merger.
The final hurdle, approval from the California Public Utilities Commission, also shows signs of concluding. A proposed approval with conditions was issued earlier this week, but CPUC’s commissioners won’t be voting on that proposal until April 16.
