T-MOBILE Names Ex-Shell CFO Jessica Uhl as Osvaldik Heads for Retirement
Jessica Uhl joins T-Mobile as CFO Designate in mid-September and takes over from Peter Osvaldik in February 2027; 2026 guidance reaffirmed.
T-Mobile US (TMUS) said on Thursday, September 3, 2026 that Jessica Uhl will join the company as CFO Designate effective mid-September and will succeed Peter Osvaldik as Chief Financial Officer in February 2027. The wireless carrier framed the move as part of its long-term leadership succession planning, following Osvaldik's earlier one-year contract extension to support the CEO transition.
Osvaldik will remain CFO through the handover in February 2027, then take on a Strategic Advisor role until his planned retirement at the end of his contract on July 1, 2027. T-Mobile said the extended overlap is designed to preserve continuity across its financial organization, investor and capital markets relationships and broader strategic priorities.
Uhl arrives with a 30-year career in large-scale global business. She was Chief Financial Officer of Shell, where she oversaw financial strategy, capital markets execution and investor relations for a company operating in more than 70 countries, and built out emerging businesses spanning infrastructure, commodity and consumer markets.
Most recently she served as President of GE Vernova, with responsibility for corporate development, strategy, ventures, research and development, and the company's generative AI program. T-Mobile pointed to that record in transformation, capital allocation at scale and deploying emerging technologies as the fit for its next era of disruption, profitable growth and innovation.
President and CEO Srini Gopalan said he was thrilled to welcome Jessica to T-Mobile, citing her capital allocation expertise and an innovative growth mindset after what he described as a thorough search process. On the outgoing CFO, Gopalan said Peter's legacy at T-Mobile is extraordinary, noting Osvaldik joined the company in 2016 and has been CFO since 2020.
Importantly for shareholders, T-Mobile reaffirmed its previously stated 2026 financial guidance and said it maintains its capital return program and long-term financial framework. Gopalan pointed to growth ambitions in small markets and rural areas, broadband, T-Mobile for Business and new adjacencies as the agenda Uhl will help execute.
