There’s No Place Like Home; Sprint Moves Back To Kansas
Sprint (NYSE: S) Nextel, the nation’s third-largest wireless carrier, said today it plans to move its headquarters back to Kansas, where it employs 13,000 people in the Overland Park suburb, according to Reuters.
CEO Dan Hesse said the company will move only a small number of executives from its current headquarters in Reston, Va., where about 4,400 total employees work. Sprint moved to Reston in 2005, after buying Reston-based Nextel Communications. Hesse, who was living in Kansas as the former CEO of Embarq, was hired in December to turn the company around. So far, he’s announced 4,000 layoffs and that they’ll close 125 retail locations. There is no official date for when the company will move. More details at our sister site mocoNews.net.
