T-Mobile Names Jessica Uhl as Successor to CFO Peter Osvaldik in Planned Transition
T-Mobile on Thursday announced a long-term succession plan for its chief financial officer, stating that Peter Osvaldik will step down from the role in February 2027. The company has named veteran executive Jessica Uhl, former CFO of Shell, as his successor.
Leadership Transition Details
According to the company's statement, the transition will be gradual. Uhl is set to join T-Mobile as CFO-designate in mid-September 2026 and will work alongside Osvaldik to ensure a smooth handover. Osvaldik, who joined T-Mobile in 2016 and has served as its CFO since 2020, will become a strategic adviser after stepping down until his planned retirement in July 2027.
Uhl brings significant financial leadership experience from major global corporations. Prior to this appointment, she was the president of GE Vernova and previously served as the chief financial officer for energy giant Shell.
AdContext of Shareholder Activity
The announcement of the executive change follows recent reports concerning T-Mobile's majority owner, Deutsche Telekom. Activist investor Elliott Investment Management has reportedly built a stake in the German telecommunications group.
Citing a report from April, Reuters noted that Deutsche Telekom, which holds an approximately 54% stake in T-Mobile, has been exploring a potential merger with its U.S. unit. The reports suggest that Elliott is urging Deutsche Telekom to abandon such a plan.
