Dec. 18, 2007
Sprint Nextel has tapped Dan Hesse to be its new chief
executive, as the company struggles to regain its footing and
win back market share it has lost to bigger competitors in the
past year. Sprint, the nation's third largest wireless carrier
by subscribers, has been looking for someone to take the helm
since Gary Forsee stepped down in October amid pressure from the
company's board and investors. Hesse, who has served as CEO of
Embarq, a local phone company that spun out of Sprint last year,
is a telecom veteran who is well known to Sprint's board and has
strong wireless experience.

He is. He was head of AT&T Wireless Services from 1997 - 2000
and started it on its road to ruin until ATTWS put itself up
for sale in 2003 with Cingular buying it in 2004.
