Sprint Names New CFO

Dan Hesse, Sprint Nextel’s new CEO, has named a replacement for former CFO Paul Saleh.

Robert Brust, who served as CFO of Eastman Kodak Co. and Unisys Corp., will assume the new role immediately, Sprint said in a news release on Thursday.

Brust’s appointment comes a little more than three months after Hesse fired Saleh, along with other top executives.

Brust, 64, also worked at General Electric Co. for 31 years. He ended his career there as vice president of finance for the plastics division.
