Deutsche Telekom has appointed Dhananjay Mirchandani as chief financial officer as part of a broader management reshuffle at Europe's largest telecom operator.

The German telecommunications company announced the executive changes as it navigates pressure from activist investor Elliott Investment Management, which recently built a significant stake in the company. Mirchandani's appointment marks a key leadership transition at the helm of the Berlin-based firm. The company also named a new chief technology officer as part of the restructuring, though details on that position remain limited. Elliott's stake signals heightened scrutiny of Deutsche Telekom's strategic direction, including questions about a potential merger with its U.S. subsidiary T-Mobile US. The activist investor has reportedly opposed such a combination. The management changes come as Deutsche Telekom operates in an increasingly competitive European telecom landscape while managing its complex relationship with its American operations. The company has not disclosed financial terms or effective dates for the new appointments.
