Robert Nason is retiring as Telstra’s group executive of business support and improvement, after playing a key role in the Australian telco’s multi-billion dollar cost-cutting programme.
The company said Nason will leave in October to explore opportunities for non-executive director roles.
CEO David Thodey said: “Robert has taken on many of our large, complex, difficult opportunities during the past five years and made them into strategic opportunities for Telstra and tangible benefits for our customers and shareholders.
“He has been in tireless pursuit of waste, inefficiency and frustration to make it easier for us to do business and easier for people to do business with us.”
The company has not announced a replacement for Nason, who is also chairman of Australian payTV operator Foxtel, which is owned by Telstra and News Corp.
The departure comes a day after Telstra closed its US$697m acquisition of Asian network provider Pacnet, giving it 29 data centres and doubling the number of customers it has in the region.
