Telstra has been a government-owned telco for most of its history. However, the government began privatising the telco in 1997 by selling off shares, and this was finalized in 2011. As of today, Telstra is no longer owned by the government. The telco has over a million shareholders – it is the most widely held company on the ASX.
The first Telstra CEO as a private company was David Thodey, who served from 2010 to 2015. Mr. Thodey focused mainly on customer service and built the foundation of what Telstra is today.
