(PR.co.nz) Telecom chief executive retail Alan Gourdie announced today that director of mobile, Paul Hamburger, would be leaving Telecom following the expiry of his contract in July.

“After 18 incredibly busy months at Telecom, covering the establishment of XT mobile services, Paul will be leaving us in a few months,” Mr Gourdie said.

“With the launch and consolidation of XT behind us, Paul has made the choice to move on from Telecom at the end of his current contract period.

“Paul Hamburger led Telecom’s retail mobile operation, responsible for such areas as product management, plans and pricing, handsets and supply chain, retail promotion and sales, as well as roaming partnerships and services.

“Paul and his team were responsible for such XT innovations as One Rate plans; pre-paid mobile broadband bringing a vastly improved range of devices to customers; and an exciting refresh of Telecom’s retail scores across New Zealand.
