“When Dave approached me about his retirement, I knew we had
incredibly big shoes to fill and with Mark we have definitely found
the right legal mind for the job. He has been a trusted partner and
counselor for many of us at T-Mobile for years, and we are thrilled
that he’ll be bringing his years of experience supporting our
business and others in-house to T-Mobile as a member of our senior
leadership team during this exciting growth period for the
company,” said T-Mobile CEO Mike Sievert. “Mark has already played

Miller has played a pivotal role in building T-Mobile US,

strategy, and T-Mobile’s game-changing merger with Sprint.
“Over the 26 years he’s served as our trusted advisor, expert
counsel and strategic thinker on everything from day-to-day issues
to massive transactions, Dave Miller has helped write the T-Mobile
story,” said Sievert. “Dave has been at the table seeing T-Mobile
through some the biggest moments in our company’s history,
including of course our merger with Sprint. From legal counsel to
advocacy to compliance, Dave led a team – now made up of 550
outstanding individuals – who have worked tirelessly to help us to
build the new T-Mobile we are today. I want to share my heartfelt
thanks with Dave for everything he’s done for me and this company.
We’ll miss him but we wish him well in a much-earned
retirement.”
Nelson will join T-Mobile on October 11, with Dave Miller
staying on as executive vice president and strategic advisor to
help support the leadership transition until his April 1, 2022
retirement.
