REUTERS/Shannon Stapleton/File PhotoT-Mobile said on Thursday that Peter Osvaldik will step down as chief financial officer in February 2027, and named Jessica Uhl his successor.

Osvaldik ‌will be ⁠a ⁠strategic adviser in the planned transition, ​before his scheduled retirement in July.

​Uhl, a former CFO of Shell and most recently president ​of GE Vernova, will ⁠join T-Mobile ‌as CFO-designate in ​mid-September and ​work alongside Osvaldik during ⁠the transition.

Osvaldik joined T-Mobile ​in 2016 and has served ​as CFO since 2020.

The announcement comes after reports that activist investor Elliott Investment Management has built a stake ‌in Deutsche Telekom and has urged the German telecom group ​to ​abandon a ⁠potential merger with T-Mobile, its U.S. unit.

Deutsche Telekom, which owns about 54% ​of T-Mobile, has been exploring a merger that would create a transatlantic telecoms giant, Reuters reported in April.
