Verizon names former PayPal boss Dan Schulman as CEO
Dan Schulman takes the helm to address slowing subscriber growth and intensifying competition in the U.S. wireless market, succeeding Hans Vestberg after seven years as CEO.
- On Monday, Verizon Communications named Dan Schulman as its new Chief Executive Officer, replacing Hans Vestberg effective immediately.
- Facing mounting competition from AT&T and T‑Mobile US, Verizon contends with slowing subscriber growth and cautious consumers resistant to premium wireless plans.
- Dan Schulman, 67, led PayPal Holdings, Inc. for nearly a decade and recently stepped down; he has held senior roles at AT&T, Priceline, Virgin Mobile and American Express and joined Verizon Board in 2018.
- Board governance changes include Mark Bertolini's election as chairman, and Vestberg will serve as special adviser through October 4, 2026 to support Frontier Communications integration.
- The change follows rival CEO moves, including at T‑Mobile US, and Vestberg's tenure featured heavy 5G network investments and media and enterprise diversification.
