Reporting to Marcelo Claure, Sprint president and CEO,
Geldmacher joins Sprint from Vodafone where he led Vodafone Global
Enterprise, a business unit responsible for defining the strategy
and operational execution of the company’s relationship with
multinational corporate customers. He also previously served as
Vodafone’s director of the Enterprise Business Unit, CEO of British
Telecom Germany, and in various management and sales positions at
European telecom companies.
Sprint’s network, now performing at its highest levels, is
prepared to serve national business clients with many lines,
devices and mobility issues. Under Geldmacher’s leadership, Sprint
will begin aggressively targeting and serving enterprise companies
of all sizes.
“Our network is performing better than ever, making it the ideal
time to double-down on our efforts and focus on winning again in
the Enterprise segment,” said Claure. “Jan’s impressive track
record of driving growth and market share while integrating new
technologies and launching new products makes him the perfect
leader for this important business unit.”
“Sprint is a respected brand, and Enterprise is an excellent
opportunity to grow the company’s market share, reduce churn and
improve customer satisfaction,” said Geldmacher. “I have a great
deal of experience in managing large Enterprise teams in tough
markets, and I am eager to join Sprint and be a part of its
turnaround.”
Geldmacher graduated with a degree in Business Administration
from the University of Cologne.
