Srini Gopalan to Lead T-Mobile Amidst Visa Policy Concerns
T-Mobile is getting a new boss!
Srini Gopalan, who is from India, will become the CEO in November.
He used to be the COO, the second in command.
This change is happening because the old CEO, Mike Sievert, is stepping down.
This also comes at a time when there are discussions and new rules about work visas (like the H-1B visa) in the US.
These new rules might make it harder for some people, especially from India, to work in the tech industry.
Gopalan has experience in the telecom industry and has worked at T-Mobile since 2025.
Srini Gopalan will become T-Mobile's CEO effective November 1, 2025.
Gopalan is currently T-Mobile's Chief Operating Officer (COO).
Mike Sievert, the current CEO, is being succeeded.
The appointment comes amid discussions about H-1B visa policies.
Gopalan has a diverse background in telecom and other industries.
