Clint Patterson, former T-Mobile SVP of Product Marketing and CMO of T-Mobile Prepaid, has left the company and joined Amazon’s Project Kuiper as CMO.

Patterson was with T-Mobile for over 11 years, working his way up from Senior Director of Consumer & Business Communications to SVP at the time of his leaving. In a post on LinkedIn, Patterson reflected on his journey at T-Mobile.

Job update! My last day with T-Mobile was last month. It has taken a few weeks to de-magentaize and reflect. It’s an understatement to say that T-Mobile was an epic ride. I joined when the Un-carrier movement was just getting started, and T-Mobile was fourth out of four in US wireless. Fast forward to today, and after dozens of Un-carrier moves and one massive telco merger, T-Mobile US is the world’s most highly-valued telco. Epic. Ride.

It was a privilege to be a small part of that journey. But more than sterile business results, it was a brilliant experience made so by brilliant, talented, passionate people. And it’s been such a joy to work alongside them and build something meaningful with them – especially the incredible PR, employee comms, consumer marketing, prepaid and product marketing teams. Thank you!

Patterson then goes on discuss his next job as CMO of Amazon’s Project Kuiper.

Now, I’m on to what’s next. I was drawn to T-Mobile by the powerful combo of great people on a compelling mission to “change wireless for good.” I’m fortunate to have found another group of great people on a compelling mission of their own at Amazon’s Project Kuiper. This past week was my first as CMO there, and what an epic Day One it was, watching the first tranche of satellites launch, touring Blue Origin’s astounding facility and getting to know the remarkable sales and marketing leadership team in Cape Canaveral. Every week will be like this, right?!?

Onward!

After years of development and billions of dollars, Project Kuiper recently launched its first group of satellites as the company ramps up to compete with SpaceX’s Starlink.

Patterson should bring a wealth of experience to the company in his role as its new CMO.
