Lumen TechnologiesEnterprise Account Manager
Jul. 2014 - Apr. 2023Wilmington, DelawareCenturyLink has taken on a new identity — Lumen Technologies — a name it says better highlights the company’s future direction and focus. “Our people are dedicated to furthering human progress through technology. Lumen is all about enabling the amazing potential of our customers, by utilizing our technology platform, our people, and our relationships with customers and
partners,” said Lumen CEO Jeff Storey, in a statement on the name change. Those around awhile may remember Mountain Bell, the local phone company, which became US West in an anti-trust spin-off from AT&T. Qwest Communications International, an up and coming fiber-optic network, acquired the much larger US West, only to get into trouble with regulators, leaving it a vulnerable target for CenturyLink, a traditional phone provider out of Louisiana, after the tech and telecom boom went bust. Now, another new name and logo will go up on the company’s buildings across the metro area. It isn’t because of one big acquisition, but rather a bunch of smaller ones. Outside of those name-changing transactions, the company has made dozens of other ones, small and big, such as Broomfield-based Level 3 Communications. Along with internal software innovations, they have given Lumen the ability to provide enterprise customers with a variety of services in a variety of areas.
