According to the sources, Nestor Cano, executive vice president and chief information and digital officer at T-Mobile, will succeed East after his departure.

Nestor previously worked as chief operating officer at Sprint, managing cost reduction to strengthen the business.

In his new role at T-Mobile, Nestor is assigned with bringing T-Mobile and Sprint together to build a supercharged Un-carrier to offer high benefits to customers, employees, and shareholders.
