Sprint merges consumer/business, ousts 4 executives OVERLAND PARK, Kansas (Reuters) - Sprint (S.N) is merging its sales and marketing operations for its business and consumer operations in a streamlining that includes the departure of four top executives, according to Sprint CEO Dan Hesse. The company is aiming to gain efficiencies in a rapidly evolving wireless market in which many customers buy services as individuals but use services tied to employer-related contractual discounts. "As the wireless market has evolved, the lines between consumers and businesses have blurred," Hesse said in a memo to employees sent Friday morning and obtained by Reuters.
