TELUS Leadership Restructure
TELUS restructures executive leadership to consolidate telecom businesses for enhanced efficiency and growth.

TELUS Corporation is restructuring its top leadership to consolidate its core telecom operations under one roof. The Canadian telecom giant, listed on both the TSX and NYSE, announced that veteran executive David Fuller will return to the company as Executive Vice President and Group President of TELUS Communications, taking charge of all core telecom business units, according to PR Newswire.
The reorganization also sees Navin Arora step into a new role overseeing TELUS Health, TELUS Agriculture & Consumer Goods, and TELUS Digital Solutions. Meanwhile, Zainul Mawji, who spent 25 years at the company, will leave TELUS as part of the transition, Newswire reported.
David Fuller Returns to Lead Core Telecom Units
David Fuller is described as a senior telecom executive coming back to TELUS in a big way. His new role puts him in charge of all of the company's core telecom business — covering both consumer and business customers. That is a wide mandate, and it signals how seriously TELUS is taking this consolidation effort, according to PR Newswire.
Combining consumer and business telecom under one leader is a deliberate move. TELUS says the goal is to align capital and resources toward the highest-margin products and customer segments. In plain terms, the company wants to spend money where it earns the most back.
Navin Arora Takes Charge of Platform Businesses
Navin Arora will serve as EVP and Group President of Global Platform Businesses. His portfolio includes three fast-growing units: TELUS Health, TELUS Agriculture & Consumer Goods, and TELUS Digital Solutions. These are the parts of TELUS that go beyond traditional phone and internet services, Yahoo Finance reported.
Grouping these units together under one executive reflects a broader strategy. TELUS is betting that health tech, agri-tech, and digital services can grow alongside its core telecom business. Keeping them separate from the telecom side lets each group focus on its own growth path.
Zainul Mawji Exits After 25 Years of Service
Zainul Mawji, who held the title of Executive Vice President of TELUS Consumer Solutions, will leave the company. Her departure closes a 25-year chapter at TELUS. The company acknowledged her "significant contributions" over that span, according to Yahoo Finance.
Her exit is part of the broader leadership reshuffle, not a standalone event. When a company merges two big units — consumer and business telecom — under one new leader, it often means some existing roles disappear. That appears to be the case here.
What TELUS Hopes to Gain From the Shakeup
TELUS says the restructuring has three clear goals: better customer service, smarter use of capital, and lower operating costs. The company wants to cut waste and run leaner. Putting related business units under single leaders is a common way to do that, Newswire reported.
The move comes as Canadian telecoms face rising pressure to justify spending and improve margins. By consolidating leadership, TELUS is making a clear bet: fewer silos, faster decisions, and a stronger bottom line. Whether that plays out will depend on how quickly the new structure takes hold.
