Overseeing human resources, employee experience and corporate real estate, she is responsible for delivering support, learning and development opportunities for all T-Mobile employees across the nation.

Deeanne spent 31 years at Sprint where she held several leadership positions, including chief human resources officer, chief diversity officer, and vice president of customer care before joining T-Mobile in 2020 as part of the merger. She was an instrumental force in the integration of the company’s historic successful merger with Sprint that blended two distinct cultures and headquarters into one cohesive Team Magenta, leading the entire employee journey from onboarding to leadership development. She spearheaded the 2021 T-Mobile HQ remodel in Bellevue, Washington, that was featured as one of the “Coolest Offices in North America” by Business Insider.

During Deeanne’s time in her role, T-Mobile has been awarded “The Best Place to Work” by Glassdoor, Forbes, and Fortune and recognized as one of Newsweek’s “Most Admired Workplaces.”
