`
`presented by
`
`Verizon has made some changes in its upper ranks.
`
`The nation's largest wireless
`service provider said in a filing
`with the Securities and
`Exchange Commission on
`Tuesday that it had named
`John Stratton executive vice
`president and president of
`operations, responsible for
`both the wireless and wireline
`business.
`
`Verizon Wireless has a new head.
`Verizon
`
`Stratton replaces Daniel
`Mead, who was serving as
`CEO of Verizon Wireless and
`is preparing to retire. The
`wireless business had its own CEO because Verizon Wireless was previously a
`joint venture between Verizon and Vodafone before Verizon assumed full control
`last year.
`
`The changes mark just the latest management shuffle in the wireless industry,
`underscoring the rapidly changing nature of the business. Last year, Sprint named
`telecom industry outsider Marcelo Claure as CEO to turn its business around,
`while AT&T promoted Glenn Lurie to be the CEO of its mobility business.
`
`Stratton, 53, previously served as the head of its global enterprise and wireline
`business. He will still report to Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam.
`
`Mead, 61, has moved to a role where he will oversee the transfer of the
`company's wireline assets in California, Florida and Texas to Frontier
