Ewaldsson previously held leadership roles including SVP and Head of Business Area Digital Services, Chief Strategy & Technology Officer, Head of Group Function Strategy & Technology, and Head of Product Area Radio.
“We are thrilled to share the great news that Ulf is joining our team of amazing leaders at T-Mobile who continue to show the other guys what it takes to win in wireless. Just look at what we’ve done with 4G wireless! We’ve been the fastest for 19 straight quarters – nearly 5 straight years… and we’re just getting started.
