Qwest to Offer Stainless Steel 10-piece Cookware Set with Long-Distance...
Curious how these things work. Qwest this morning announced that CEO Dick Notebaert -- a former CEO of one-time Bell company Ameritech -- has named a successor. He is Edward Mueller -- another former CEO of one-time Bell company Ameritech.
After Ameritech, Mueller became CEO of Williams-Sonoma, the kitchen and household goods company.
