The Chief Experience Officer position was a new role created for Johnson. Johnson's tenure with the company will total 14 months. Johnson's position is being taken by Rockert Hackl, who will also be President of National Sales. Hacks starts April 1. Sprint is working hard to trim some $2.5 billion in expenses this year. It already let go of 2,500 employees and also plans to reduce lease expenses at its cell sites. The company is facing some $30 billion debt.
