ATLANTA-Sprint PCS affiliate AirGate PCS Inc. named long-time industry veteran William Loughman as vice president and chief financial officer. Prior to joining AirGate, Loughman served as president and chief executive officer of Baran Telecom, as well as various positions with AT&T Wireless Services Inc., Motorola Inc. and Cellular One in New York.
“Bill brings a broad range of operational and financial management experience to AirGate,” said Thomas Dougherty, president and CEO of AirGate. “His extensive background in the wireless industry, particularly in the Carolinas, makes him an excellent addition to our management team.”
Dougherty added that with AirGate’s recent financial restructuring, Loughman’s experience would be invaluable to the carrier’s future.
Loughman replaces William Seippel, who was named to the position in late 2002 but resigned earlier this year to pursue other interests.
