Globe says Nortel aims executive guns at U.S. military

2004-06-09 05:55 ET - In the News

The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that Nortel Networks chief executive officer Bill Owens plans to put his military background to use in helping the telecommunications equipment maker win some United States defence contracts. The Globe's Paul Waldie and Dave Ebner write that Mr. Owens is a retired U.S. Navy admiral. He says the U.S. military and government are "a very good market for us." Nortel recently hired another retired U.S. Navy admiral, Chuck Saffell, as president of its Federal Solutions Team. Mr. Saffell is based in Washington and he "will lead efforts to provide robust, secure networking technology solutions to U.S. defence, homeland security, intelligence, and civil agencies globally," the company said. "Nortel Networks now has the benefit of two senior leaders with extensive knowledge of the current and envisioned networks of federal agencies." There have also been reports that Nortel won part of a contract to help rebuild a portion of the phone system in Iraq along with Bechtel Group. Those contracts have been tightly controlled by the U.S. government through the Coalition Provisional Authority. Nortel would not confirm the Iraq contract.
