The focus has returned to the growth prospects of the country’s biggest telecommunications company.

Outgoing CEO Telstra Andy Penn is finishing up his seven-year reign, characterised by a seesawing share price and the NBN rollout, with earnings again growing as he prepares to exit the big chair.

Mr Penn told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings the job was demanding but incredibly rewarding and he high hopes customers would benefit from its future strategy.

“The timing is right, we’ve been through a pretty major transformation and I think the business is in great shape,” he said on Thursday.
