I mentioned it last week, and this week, it’s true.  With the falling of the Autumn leaves, comes the official falling of Sprint’s Head Honcho, CEO Gary Forsee.

Apparently the official stepping down has already taken place, and been announced by Sprint but the search for a replacement is still on, and will remain on until they are confident the perfect match has been found.  For now, “Board Member James Hance will take on Forsee’s chairman of the board role and Paul Saleh will take over as acting CEO while the board searches for a permanent replacement.”  Sounds good, and I have to be honest, I’m really excited to see what will become of Sprint with some new leadership.

Nevertheless, Forsee is done, and was sent off with these kind words:  “On behalf of the entire board and the Sprint Nextel employees, we want to thank Gary for his dedication and leadership and all of the contributions he has made since becoming chief executive of Sprint in 2003.”

Stick around for more news on this one, for anyone at all into the mobile warrior lifestyle, Sprint is a big player and this could lead to a lot of changes!
