AT&T Inc. named Jeff McElfresh, formerly head of its largest business unit, to fill the vacant role of chief operating officer.
The promotion was announced Friday as part of a new leadership team that Chief Executive Officer John Stankey is forming as he narrows the telecommunications giant’s focus following the divestiture of its media businesses this month. The COO role had been vacant since Stankey became CEO in July 2020.
