New management changes at T-Mobile Czech Republic and Slovak Telekom will strengthen technological and IT transformation

The executive management board of T-Mobile Czech Republic and Slovak Telekom will expand since January 1, 2026. Vladan Peković (CTIO) is moving to the Deutsche Telekom group, and the original technology and IT division will be divided into two new ones: the technology division and the IT division. This is related also to two newly created positions - Abhishek Goel will take on the position of Chief Information Officer (CIO) and António Carlos Correia Fernandes will take on the position of Chief Technology Officer (CTO). Thanks to this, both companies will better reflect the growing complexity of modern networks, accelerate digitalization, and strengthen their technological leadership.

Vladan Peković, who has been working as Chief Technology and IT Officer (CTIO) at T-Mobile Czech Republic and Slovak Telekom for more than 4 years, will continue his successful career within the Deutsche Telekom group. In his new role, he will take responsibility for the complete process of establishing the group's active access networks in all 10 European countries where DT operates, including Germany.

Vladan’s promotion is another important signal for us, when excellent professional results, expertise and leadership can open up career opportunities beyond our borders. I would like to thank Vladan for his leadership and significant impact in the area of network sharing and network infrastructure development and resilience. Technology and IT in telecommunications clearly show how strategic infrastructure is within both countries. I also warmly welcome on the board our new colleagues Abhishek and Carlos and wish them the best of luck in their new roles,” said Melinda Szabó, CEO at T-Mobile Czech Republic and Slovak Telekom and Member of the Board of Directors.

The separate management of both new divisions (technology and IT) will strengthen the emphasis on modern data and digital transformation and network development. Both will be led by experienced leaders who will also become new members of the executive management of both companies.
