AT&T has made some changes in its executive ranks and has replaced Ralph de la Vega as the CEO of AT&T Mobility.
Taking de la Vega’s place is Glenn Lurie, a longtime AT&T vet who was instrumental in bringing the Apple iPhone to AT&T back in 2007. Lurie most recently oversaw AT&T’s connect home business.
He will head the entire wireless group moving forward, but AT&T also indicated it is merging its wireless and enterprise solutions groups.The new, merged business unit will be managed by de la Vega. His new title is CEO Mobile & Business Solutions.
The executive changes are effective immediately. AT&T Mobility’s change of CEO follows closely that of Sprint’s, which replaced Dan Hesse with Marcelo Claure.
