Sprint's Product Guru Exits
Yikes! As if Sprint doesn’t have enough to worry about…
Sprint Nextel Corp.'s product development guru plans to leave the company Monday—making him the second high-profile executive to leave the wireless carrier this month.
Kevin Packingham, 39 years old, who led the development of the company's flagship Evo 4G and upcoming Epic smartphones, plans to run another company in Kansas City, according to a Sprint spokeswoman. She declined to identify the company.
The departure of Mr. Packingham, a senior vice president often tasked with demonstrating the carrier's key devices during major events and conferences, comes as Sprint ramps up the marketing push for its next fourth-generation phone, the Samsung Epic.
