era
T-Mobile US, Inc. (NASDAQ: TMUS) today announced the appointment
of Srinivasan Gopalan as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO). Mr.
Gopalan will join T-Mobile US in his new role on March 1, 2025,
reporting directly to CEO Mike Sievert, and will lead the company’s
technology initiatives and go-to-market operations across both
Consumer and Business groups.
Gopalan has served as a member of T-Mobile’s Board of Directors
for nearly four years, with his most recent term beginning in 2022.
His work as a member of the Board of Directors, along with his work
on two important committees, has made a lasting impact at
T-Mobile.
Gopalan has extensive global leadership experience in
technology, telecommunications, and business operations. He has
held senior leadership positions at organizations like Bharti
Airtel in India, CapitalOne in the UK, Vodafone, T-Mobile UK where
he contributed to the joint venture with Orange, and various roles
at Deutsche Telekom, including having served as the Managing
Director of Telekom Deutschland GmbH, leading all operations and
guiding DT’s biggest operating country through a strategic digital
transformation and market-leading growth.
He has successfully driven operational excellence, digital
transformation, and customer-centric strategies, with a proven
track record of overseeing large-scale technology initiatives and
leading go-to-market efforts that delivered growth and innovation.
His combination of strategic vision, operational rigor, and
market-focused leadership makes him a tremendous choice to drive
T-Mobile’s continued success across Consumer and Business
markets.
“I am so pleased to welcome Srini to this world-leading
management team after working with him for years on our Board of
Directors. I know from personal experience that his deep
understanding of technology, operations and our business makes him
the ideal leader to take on the role of Chief Operating Officer,”
said Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile US. “As we execute on the
multi-year business and technology transformation plan that we laid
out at our Capital Markets Day, having Srini join our team couldn’t
be better timed, as he will leverage his experience and track
record of leading through significant transformations – as a
further accelerant to a plan that already has a lot of momentum
behind it.”
As COO, Gopalan will focus on creating even better experiences
for T-Mobile customers with an emphasis on technology work-streams
that drive T-Mobile towards its goal of being a data informed, AI
enabled, digital first company; and the integrated go-to-market
strategies that will make it a reality for customers and fuel
T-Mobile’s unique growth strategy. Expanding T-Mobile’s multi-year
lead in network through advanced 5G solutions and driving thought
leadership on the next generation mobile network standards will
also be a key area of focus.
"I’ve worked with Mike and this entire management team for many
years as a board member, and I’m looking forward to joining
management in this leadership role to build on T-Mobile’s
momentum," said Mr. Gopalan. "This is an important time for the
company, the most exciting chapter yet - and I look forward to
jumping in to help drive the ongoing transformation in the Consumer
and Business areas and to orchestrate the delivery of technology
solutions and value."
The existing Senior Leadership Team will continue in their
roles, and Jon Freier, President of the Consumer Group; Callie
Field, President of the Business Group; Nestor Cano, EVP
Transformation and Chief Information and Digital Officer; and Ulf
Ewaldsson, President of Technology will all report directly to
Gopalan upon his arrival, which is expected to be March 1,
2025.
