Category: Private Citizen — Corporate Director Role: Director, T-Mobile US Inc. (TMUS); Deutsche Telekom designee Board Tenure: 2023 – present Committee Memberships: Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Profile Type: Board Member Accountability — Anchor B (Documented Organizational Leadership)

Basis for Inclusion: André Almeida holds a documented governance role as a Deutsche Telekom–designated director on the T-Mobile US board. T-Mobile, while not among the largest direct political donors, holds a prominent position in the telecommunications industry where FCC spectrum policy, merger approvals, and rural broadband funding are directly shaped by federal regulatory decisions. The Sprint merger approval and subsequent network buildout under the Trump administration created significant government-business overlap that contextualizes this governance structure. This profile documents the factual governance relationship, not the subject’s personal political views.

Subject Classification: Private Citizen / Corporate Director. Board membership is a matter of public record (SEC filings, proxy statements). This profile documents only the governance role and its connection to the corporate governance structure documented in the parent corporate profile.
