Sprint Nextel Pass The Baton To New CEO

Sprint Nextel today announced that they have chosen a replacement for Gary Forsee, who stepped down in October of this year. Daniel R. Hesse will be taking the helm as President and CEO of Sprint Nextel, effective immediately. Hesse has served in the same position at Sprint spin-off Embarq Corporation, and also has over 2 decades of experience with AT&T Wireless, including a 3-year stint as the President and CEO.

Following Forsee’s resignation, CFO Paul Saleh stepped in to cover the position until a replacement was found, and will now be returning to his normal duties.

Welcome to the team, Daniel, we look forward to see what Sprint Nextel will do in the coming year in the US wireless market.
