Philip Eric Rene Jansen (born January 1967)[1] is a British businessman, and was the chief executive officer (CEO) of BT from February 2019 to January 2024, having previously been CEO of Worldpay since April 2013.
Following the Worldpay IPO in 2015 by its then private equity owners, Bain Capital and Advent International, Jansen was due to receive £50 million.[4]
On 19 September 2018, Worldpay announced that Jansen would step down at the end of the year.[5]
On 25 October 2018 he was announced as the new CEO of BT with effect from 1 February 2019, succeeding Gavin Patterson.[6]
During his tenure as CEO of BT Group, an industrial dispute began with the CWU due to pay and working conditions.[7] This led to a strike ballot where 91.5% of BT, 95.8% of Openreach and 95.5% of EE CWU members who took part in the ballot voted to strike.[8] During the dispute, some employees and commentators referred to him as “Foodbank Phil”.[9]
In July 2023, it was announced that Jansen would be stepping down as CEO of BT within the next 12 months.[10]
Personal lifeedit
Jansen is married, with five children, and lives in west London.
