After 40 years in the business, Telstra CFO John Stanhope is retiring. Effective at the end of 2011, Stanhope is also retiring from the Telstra board.
For those already dusting off their resumes, CEO David Thodey said Telstra has commenced “a rigorous process to formally consider” Stanhope’s replacement.
Before that, however, Thodey spoke glowingly of Stanhope’s four decades of service.
“John’s contribution to the company for more than 40 years has been enormous,” Thodey said.
He is a genuine leader in the industry and a valued leader in our company. On behalf of his colleagues we sincerely thank him and wish him the very best for the future.”
