John J. Legere is an American businessman who is the chief executive officer and president of T-Mobile US. He previously served as an executive for AT&T, Dell, Global Crossing, and serves on the CTIA board of directors.
A Massachusetts native, Legere graduated from St. Bernard's Central Catholic School in Fitchburg, Massachusetts and aspired to be a gym teacher, before he figured out he wanted a more lucrative career and decided to study business instead. He received a BBA from the University of Massachusetts, an M.S., as an Alfred P. Sloan fellow, at the MIT Sloan School of Management and an MBA from Fairleigh Dickinson University. He also completed Harvard Business School's Program for Management Development (PMD).
Legere was appointed CEO of T-Mobile USA (now T-Mobile US) in September 2012, and has since been noted for T-Mobile's "Un-carrier" approach to contract-free wireless networks.
He first worked in telecommunications at New England Telephone. Legere then spent nearly twenty years at AT&T, where he spent a period working under Daniel Hesse, formerly CEO of Sprint Corporation. He served as chief executive for AT&T Asia from April 1994 to November 1997, and also spent time as head of AT&T Global Strategy and Business Development. From 1997 to 1998, he served as President of Worldwide outsourcing of AT&T solutions.
