BELLEVUE, Wash.-T-Mobile International added current T-Mobile USA Inc. Chief Operating Officer Sue Swenson to its management board. Swenson will be responsible for transatlantic synergy programs and development projects, integrated wireless local area network services, roaming offers and terminals.
Swenson joins T-Mobile USA Chief Executive Officer Robert Dotson on the board, which T-Mobile International said shows the importance of its U.S. operations. Industry observers have been questioning T-Mobile’s long-term strategy for its U.S. operations following the recent string of consolidation activity among wireless providers in the U.S. market.
“By increasing the presence of T-Mobile USA on the group board of management, we are acknowledging the great significance of our U.S. operations,” said Rene Obermann, CEO of T-Mobile International.
Prior to joining T-Mobile USA last year, Swenson served in numerous executive positions, most recently as CEO of Leap Wireless International Inc. between 1994 and 1999.
