With a focus on empowering large, medium and small business
customers, Sprint (NYSE: S) recently created a dedicated Global
Wireline Business Unit to provide business customers with flexible
solutions that will enable them to operate more efficiently, fully
engage their employees, and adapt quickly to the future of
work.
Mike Fitz, a veteran of wireline sales and operations, will lead
the business unit as vice president and general manager. A Sprint
employee for more than a decade, Fitz previously was vice president
of the company’s Solutions Engineering department. Fitz was named
as “one of the rising stars of wireline” by Fierce Telecom in
2013.
“Sprint has a long and successful history of serving businesses
and providing the network and the tools that enable their employees
to work better and smarter,” said Fitz. “Sprint offers a one-stop
shop that can solve all of a business’s telecom challenges. Our
customers appreciate that we have an integrated account team that
understands their business-critical needs.”
The Global Wireline Business Unit has full profit-and-loss
responsibility, including strategy, sales, marketing, product
management, solutions engineering and operations. Sprint now has
dedicated sales representatives and solutions engineers who sell,
design, implement and support wireline solutions for business
customers, partnering with the Sprint wireless sales
representatives to ensure a fully integrated approach to
communications needs for business customers.

traffic. Sprint’s all-IP network provides the foundation for
converged and cloud services and is critical to business success.
