T-Mobile finally confirms a change that has been rumored for months
T-Mobile finally confirms a change that has been rumored for months
T-Mobile praised Sievert for helping T-Mobile scale new heights, noting that under his six-year leadership, the company became the first and only carrier in the US to lead in both wireless and broadband growth. The company also added around $200 billion in market capitalization during Sievert’s run as CEO, making it one of the most valuable service providers in the world.
T-Mobile is ready to embark on a new journey built around improving customer experience, strengthening its role as an industry disruptor, and speeding up digital transformation. T-Mobile‘s parent company, Deutsche Telekom, believes Srini will execute those goals well.
T-Mobile has created a new position to keep Sievert a part of the company. He has been appointed as Vice Chairman of the company and Board. He will advise the company on matters related to strategy, innovation, and external relations.
Sievert has expressed confidence in Srini’s capability to lead T-Mobile. Srini has served as the CEO of Deutsche Telekom’s German business and has also held senior leadership roles at Capital One and Vodafone.
I couldn’t be more excited to announce Srini Gopalan as our next CEO. When I recruited Srini to be our COO, I knew he had the skills, experience and Un-carrier mindset to lead our company into the future.
–Mike Sievert, T-Mobile CEO, September 2025
I am so thankful for Mike’s partnership and mentorship and am committed to building on his legacy of putting the customer first — while disrupting the industry — as we continue to scale our winning Un-carrier strategy.
–Srini Gopalan, T-Mobile COO, September 2025
Today’s announcement also appears to hint that T-Mobile is deprioritizing offline presence, which comes as no surprise. After all, the company has been discouraging store visits for quite some time.
For now, the leadership shuffle doesn’t appear to affect customers, but they will be watching closely to decide whether Srini is more Sievert or John Legere.
