VANCOUVER – The merger of Telus Communications and Telus Mobility will see the top floor of the executive suite reduced from 12 to 9 people.
The company announced on November 24 the merger of its wireless and wireline segments and one of the casualties will be Wade Oosterman, the previous chief marketing officer (CMO). “The outcome of the discussions is that a suitable alternative role for Mr. Oosterman has not been found. No replacement will be appointed as the position of CMO is not present in the new merged executive reporting structure,” said a Telus release today.
"My thanks to Wade for his many contributions to Telus over the last five years including the operational success of Telus Mobility," said Darren Entwistle, president and CEO. "Wade and his team were instrumental in successfully developing TELUS’ instantly recognizable, leading national brand. We wish him well and he will be remembered fondly by his many friends at Telus, most particularly myself."
