Fred Salerno isn’t a household name unless your household is in the $1.7 trillion telecommunications industry.
During his 40-year career, he has shunned the limelight, given few interviews but has completed more deals than even the most successful banker on Wall Street.
Salerno, 77, was certainly at the center of the revolution in the way people communicate. He climbed up the ladder to become a top executive at NYNEX. One of the original Baby Bells the original seven regional holding companies then under the AT&T umbrella NYNEX was spun off after the landmark divestiture of AT&T in 1984. As chief financial officer and vice chairman, he was part of the team that built this baby into a colossus, creating what is now Verizon Communications.

on President-elect
JOE BIDEN’S CABINET to a few of us reporters Wednesday evening in the Capitol: “I think it’d be great to see a more cohesive vision across the entire Cabinet.
