Bye Bye Sievert.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) -The head of T-Mobile U.S., the fast-growing and profitable subsidiary of Germany's Deutsche Telekom, is due to step aside before the end of his current contract, German newspaper Handelsblatt reported on Monday.

Deutsche Telekom did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report.

Handelsblatt reported Mike Sievert, who has headed the mobile operator since 2020, wanted to take a break and that Chief Operating Officer Srini Gopalan, until recently head of Deutsche Telekom's Germany business, was a leading candidate to succeed him.

The chief executive would step down this year or next, the newspaper added.

Previously facing troubles, T-Mobile has become a revenue and profit driver in recent years. Thanks to strong figures from the U.S. mobile operator, Deutsche Telekom has raised its earnings targets several times.

T-Mobile U.S. customer growth fell short of expectations at the beginning of the year due to an intensified price war. The subsidiary nonetheless aims to win 5.5 to 6 million new users by 2025.

Sievert, who joined T-Mobile as marketing head in 2012, had been due to remain in post until 2028.

@kh Do you really think I have time for all that? I will after I'm gone though, just to pi-s you off r-ta-d.

May the blessings of Lord Jesus and an army of angels surround Mike and protect his job from satan and the republicans trying to remove him.

Lots of layoffs going on...

Microsoft, Google, CrowdStrike, Disney, Amazon, Warner.

T-Mobile can't be far behind. Mikey still needs that second airplane.

Ulf and Lori need to go next. Lori is DEI and Ulf is such a horrible leader.

The down vote bots are paid by Sievert. They were gone for months, then this story and post came. Shows what a shill he is to have them start back up.

Undoing all the decisions that took you from nearly disappearing from the face of the earth to being the fastest growing wireless carrier was a wild choice. Sievert should be pushing a mop in his next job.

The t mobile down voting bots sure have been busy over the past twenty four hours.

Those of you still left.Enjoy working for a company run by a packy

This company was never the same after Legere left. Good riddance to this should be insurance salesman. Unfortunately, I’m not sure the new guy will be much better at all.

The comms team has sent in the brigade. The new CEO will only make things worse for customers and employees.

Adios Twerp.

@d9 still everyone living in fear. Those talkie motion pictures must have been a real challenge for you .

Sievert did a very good job with the strategy and taking over from Legere.
But during covid he eagerly went along with Autopen and all the rest of the "experts" and used it opportunistically to sc--w people.
By the way, you should be up to 9 or 10 shots now. If not, you're selfish and a science denier. You deserve to have your life up-ended and relationships destroyed.
You are also ki-ling grandma.

McHugh said, “In our view a transition from Sievert to Gopalan as CEO may well fit the new strategy better, as Sievert has been one of the key architects of the Uncarrier initiatives that the company is slowly moving away from, while Gopalan does have more experience with convergence.”

@a3 Verizons next CEO will probably be Indian as well

Is this the verified?

Good. Hope the new guy will realize how bad these Sprint leaders are and start replacing them with H1Bs.

Company is so F’d. Seivert is horrible, but an Indian will be even worse. Kiss your jobs goodbye. Going to AI or India.

"take a break" = "roll around in my fu-k-you money"

Chief Operating Officer Srini Gopalan was a leading candidate to succeed him.

Bye-Bye more American jobs.
