"I am truly honored by and grateful for this recognition," Brust said. "I would like to thank Institutional Investor for this award, in addition to everyone on my team and at Sprint, as this demonstrates the strides Sprint is making."
Since becoming Sprint's chief financial officer two years ago, Brust has created a culture that is extremely cost conscious and aligns all company finances with corporate priorities. As a result of his focus on cutting costs, conserving cash and meeting financial expectations, Sprint has implemented financial policies which resulted in $2.8 billion in free cash flow in 2009, the highest in Sprint Nextel history, despite the challenging economic climate.
Prior to joining Sprint, Brust previously served as chief financial officer and executive vice president of Eastman Kodak Company from January 2000 until February 2007, when he retired from the company. Prior experience includes nearly three years as CFO of Unisys and 31 years in various positions at General Electric.
