Sprint Nextel is making good on its pledge last week to cut 4,000 employees, and it’s doing it at “Sprint Speed.”
This morning the long-suffering wireless carrier announced some “key leadership changes,” sacking three top executives. Leaving are Chief Financial Officer Paul Saleh, Chief Marketing Officer Tim Kelly, and Mark Angelino, president of Sprint’s sales and distribution unit.
Their last day is tomorrow. Interim replacements will serve in their stead until the company appoints permanent ones. “I want to thank each of these individual leaders for their dedication and contributions to Sprint Nextel,” Dan Hesse, Sprint’s president and CEO, said in a statement. “I wish them all the best in their future endeavors.”
