Telstra Names David Burns as New Enterprise Leader
In the wake of Ebeid’s exit, Telstra has named David Burns as the company’s new enterprise leader. Ebeid’s decision to leave sparked a reshuffle within Telstra’s enterprise business. Burns’ old position will be taken by Dean Salter. Salter will be joining Telstra after leaving Jetstar where he has been the Chief Operating Officer for the last four years. The CEO of Telstra Andrew Penn expressed his gratitude to Ebeid for his contribution to the telco. Penn stated that Ebeid has overseen all the enterprise business during an important period of change as it adjusted to a changing and dynamic market.
According to a statement released by Penn, Ebeid had led the Telstra team in delivering its T22 [Telstra 2022 transformation] priorities, along with transforming their enterprise services and products. He claimed that this helped the company to better meet customer needs and respond to a constantly changing environment at a rapid pace. Penn said that he was sorry to see Ebeid go as he had also led a significant improvement in the engagement of enterprise employees during his tenure at Telstra.
