LOS ANGELES–CTIA announced that the head of SunCom Wireless Holdings, Michael Kalogris, was elected as the trade group’s new chairman. Kalogris takes over the position from Len Lauer, who was recently dismissed at the chief operating officer of Sprint Nextel Corp.
The appointment marks another major event for Kalogris, who only last month returned to his duties at SunCom following a three-month stint of rehabilitation due to injuries sustained in a May car crash.
Other newly elected CTIA officers include Verizon Wireless’ Executive Vice President and COO Lowell McAdam as vice chairman, Lucent Mobility Solutions President Cindy Christy as treasurer, and T-Mobile USA Inc. President and CEO Robert Dotson as secretary.
