Sprint CEO Claure turns rep at new store, making sales and speaking to customers
Move over John Legere. The feisty executive who has turned around T-Mobile by putting customers first has a challenger in Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure.

The company reported its first operating profit in nine years for fiscal 2016, which ended in March. Led by its tri-band LTE Plus network, which features the attributes of low, mid and high-frequency spectrum, Sprint is also planning on using 3 x carrier aggregation on flagship phones in order to increase data speed.
