As a 26-year veteran of the telecommunications industry, Michael Heath has pretty much seen it all. “I started just before the divestiture of the Bell System, so I’ve seen all the changes over the past 20-plus years,” says Heath. Having worked for large corporations such as Qwest and several small start-ups, Heath came on board AT&T this past year and soon became vice president of sales for AT&T Government Solutions — a unit with 4,000 employees that’s solely dedicated to meeting the needs of the federal government. As he wraps up his first year with AT&T, Heath fills us in on how he’s shaping an integrated sales force to address the mission-critical needs of the federal government.
