Adel Al-Saleh (born 1963) is a U.S. manager and has been a member of the Board of Management of Deutsche Telekom AG and CEO of T-Systems International GmbH since January 1, 2018. He succeeded Reinhard Clemens, who had led the subsidiary since the end of 2007. [1]
Life
Al-Saleh studied electrical engineering at Boston University (B.Sc. 1987) and business administration at Florida Atlantic University (MBA 1990). He then spent 19 years in various management positions at IBM, most recently as Vice president and general director.[1] In 2007, Al-Saleh joined IT provider IMS Health, where he was Chairman for the regions Europe, Middle East, Africa and North America for four years.[2] In December 2011, he became CEO of Northgate Information Solutions (NIS), a subsidiary of the investment company Kohlberg Kravis Roberts. As a member of the Board of Management of Deutsche Telekom AG since January 2018, he is responsible for the Bonn-based Group's corporate customers unit and is also CEO of T-Systems.
Adel Al-Saleh is married, has four children and lives in London.[3]
Controversy
Al-Saleh is supposed to put the Telekom subsidiary, which has been in crisis for years, on course for growth, in particular by making savings in administrative costs, locations and management levels. The plan is to cut or relocate around 10,000 positions worldwide over a period of three years.[4] The works council and the labor union Ver.di feared that less profitable business units could be bundled into a kind of "bad bank" and sold off.[5][6] In the meantime, a reconciliation of interests and a social plan have been negotiated with employee representatives, including a cutback of 5,600 jobs in Germany by 2021. Operational layoffs are to be avoided wherever possible and half of the costs saved are to be invested in growth areas.[7][8]
