Quotable
“[Former T-Mobile CEO John Legere] and I have been close for many years. I’ve been at this company as the #1 or #2 person for a decade now and I just have so much to thank him for, for the mentorship, for the partnership and friendship. For us, this was long thought out by our board and planned for, and that obviously is a great thing for our shareholders. You’ve seen in the two years since we made the transition and the new company was created, our stock is up 50%. We had the best year ever in our company’s history in 2021, and that’s to the credit of the tens of thousands of people in this company.”
– T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert appearing on CNBC’s “Mad Money” about the transition from the company’s previous leadership team and the T-Mobile/Sprint combination
