The T-Mobile Chief Enterprise Officer appointment signals a major step in advancing growth and innovation. T-Mobile appointed Chris Sambar to become the new Chief Enterprise Officer, starting from October 2026. This position shows that the company is concerned with growing its enterprise and government segments. Moreover, this position helps align the leadership team with strategic goals.
Sambar comes to T-Mobile from Public Storage, where he worked as COO. In the past, he has worked for 20 years at AT&T, overseeing significant network and enterprise projects. Sambar was responsible for the development of 5G network and the FirstNet public safety network. Thus, he will be useful to T-Mobile as it expands into new territories.
“Chris is a seasoned wireless industry leader with proven experience including expanding high-growth businesses and seizing market opportunities. He’s a terrific addition to T-Mobile’s leadership team,” said Srini Gopalan, CEO of T-Mobile. “I am also thrilled that André is stepping into his new role, as he has been instrumental in building several of our fastest-growing businesses. With these appointments, I am confident T-Mobile’s leadership team has the speed, focus and expertise to shape the next generation of our industry as we continue to innovate and disrupt with a truly differentiated offering for our customers.”
Advancing Enterprise Growth and Next-Generation Innovation
T-Mobile also appointed Andre Almeida as the Chief Marketing, Brand, and Broadband Officer. He will be responsible for driving wireless and broadband growth among consumers in this position. On the other hand, Dr. John Saw will manage the networks, technology, and engineering departments. Consequently, T-Mobile hopes to fast-track innovations in AI and 6G technologies.
“I am honored to join T-Mobile’s exceptional leadership team at a time when the company is redefining the industry through bold innovation,” said Mr. Sambar. “T-Mobile’s relentless customer-first spirit is exactly what I believe will define the next generation of business technology and connectivity, and I look forward to helping unlock new growth opportunities while building on the company’s pioneering legacy and track record.”
The organization keeps evolving its leadership structure in order to benefit from new opportunities. Furthermore, there is an emphasis on enhancing customer experience and moving outside the wireless business. This is in line with the company’s vision of industry leadership.
T-Mobile also announced that Mike Katz, its Chief Business & Product Officer, has decided to step away and pursue new professional interests. He will remain in a strategic advisory role through December 2026 to support a seamless transition. Added Mr. Gopalan: “I extend my sincere gratitude to Mike for his incredible contributions to T-Mobile over his 20-plus years. Mike helped shape the Un-carrier movement and has been a driving force of so many of the bold moves that have transformed our company and our industry. Millions of consumers benefit every day from Mike’s vision and his commitment to dare to do things differently.”
Continued Mr. Gopalan: “T-Mobile has incredible opportunity ahead as we continue to exceed the ambitious goals we’ve set for ourselves and set a new standard for our industry. I’m confident that our leadership team’s long-term vision will drive sustained growth for T-Mobile and develop bold new offerings for our customers.”
T-Mobile also confirmed that Mike Katz will transition from his role while supporting the company through December 2026. In this regard, the changes in the leadership at T-Mobile become apparent.
