Softbank international is the overseas arm of SoftBank Group Corp, based in Minato, Tokyo.

Michel Combes who joined SBGI as president in April 2020 was part of many important deals and investments. American tech company Sprint’s merger with T-Mobile received approval from the regulators when Combes were at the helm.

WeWork became a public company via a special-purpose acquisition company (black check company) in 2021 for a valuation of $9 billion.

In an official statement, Michel thanked everyone at Softbank for being joyful and amazing. He also said that he was leaving SoftBank with pride in achieving everything possible.

CEO of Softbank group corp. (parent company of SBGI) Masayoshi Son, reportedly said that Michel was a significant part of the multinational conglomerate for the last 5 years. He said that he was pleased to know Michel will continue to present Softbank on multiple portfolio company boards.

Son also wished Michel all the best in his future endeavours.

As of now, there is no official information regarding the reason Michel Combs is leaving the post of CEO. Some media report suggests that he “has decided to leave SoftBank to pursue new opportunities.”

Alex Clavel new CEO of SBGI

Soon after Michel’s announcement, Softbank group corp announced the appointment of Alex Clavel as CEO of Softbank group international. Alex Clavel who was working as a managing partner in SBGI will take over as CEO from June 30th, 2022.

Alex Clavel who started at Softbank in 2015, worked at Morgan Stanley before for 19 years. At Morgan Stanley, he was part of investment banking focused on technology, media, and telecom.
