Mills’ appointment follows Sprint’s announcement that it will

“Our new regional structure positions Sprint to better connect with
our customers and frontline associates so we can deliver even more
competitive offers through a localized approach. We have been testing
this local approach in the Chicago market for some time now, and are
extremely pleased with the results so far. I’m confident that Jim’s
leadership will help build on our success in Illinois and Wisconsin.”
