Additional Information
To keep my resume concise, I omitted my successful tenure at MCI Telecommunications from 1984 to 2000, during which I achieved (among others) the highest and most prestigious "Chairman's Inner Circle" for outstanding sales performance.
Following the WorldCom acquisition and subsequent challenges, I held roles at these technology and long-distance companies:
- LCI
- Deutsche Telekom
- TBS
- Mid Com
At MCI and these companies, I was consistently recognized for my exceptional performance and contributed to revenue growth exceeding $19 billion.
Thank you,
