“John Legere has had an enormously successful run as CEO,” Tim Höttges, Deutsche Telekom CEO, and chairman of T-Mobile US’ board of directors. “As the architect of the Un-carrier strategy and the company’s complete transformation, John has put T-Mobile US in an incredibly strong position.”
Legere tweeted that the move “has been under development for a long time.”
“You’ve heard me joke that he’s “my son,” but in reality, since I hired him in 2012, @SievertMike’s been my mentee, my secret weapon and my friend,” Legere said.
“I’m telling you, @SievertMike is absolutely the right choice to be the next CEO of @TMobile,” he continued. “I know he’ll take what we’ve done for the past 7 years and supercharge it!”
