Dex One Corporation provides print, online and mobile search marketing via their DexKnows.com website, print yellow pages directories, voice based search platforms and pay-per-click ad networks in the U.S.
A few people internally at SuperMedia’s Superpages have pinged me this week to let me know of a larger layoff that happened yesterday at the company – reportedly 300 or more employees, primarily in the Internet Sales Division, were layed-off. I’m surprised Dallas Morning News hasn’t reported on it.
Dex One is apparently also planning to lay off 65 graphics workers in Colorado.
Both companies have already gone through a few rounds of cuts at this point, severely reducing the numbers of employees they have. I’ve also heard that both companies are using similar language around plans to outsource various functions overseas.
Hanna will be responsible for all sales and marketing functions, leading the company's transition from a product-centric to a customer-centric organization. He will also be tasked with shifting the sales force from a solo-selling model to a team-based approach to increase customer contact frequency and support the delivery of a wider portfolio of digital solutions. Hanna will be based at Dex One headquarters in Cary and report to the company's CEO Alfred Mockett.
Hanna has held a variety of senior leadership positions at several technology and telecommunications companies, including AT&T, Cidera, MCI, MFS-Intelenet, Motive and Teligent.
As chief operating officer at Motive, Hanna led the sales, marketing, operations and product development functions. He moved the company into mobile Smartphone software, complementing the company's core broadband offering, growing sales by approximately 30 percent. In addition, during his tenure with the firm he successfully directed a series of initiatives to significantly drive down overall operating costs.
"To compete in today's marketplace we must build a world-class, 21st century sales force that is professionally trained and armed with the latest tools and technology. Rick has a wealth of experience assembling high-performance sales teams and he will ensure this gets done at Dex One," said Mockett. "Rick has a solid track record of leading the sales and marketing functions in the hyper-competitive technology and telecom sectors; he understands what it takes to win in the marketplace and provide outstanding service and support to customers."
As president of the small and medium business division at MCI, Hanna guided a $1.5 billion operation with 3,500 employees. He led the restructuring of the field and telemarketing sales efforts, resulting in a rapid double-digit improvement in sales and customer retention.
As president and CEO at MFS-Intelenet, he launched the nation's first competitive local exchange carrier, growing the company at an annual rate in excess of 40 percent. The company had operations in 45 major markets, with more than 2,000 employees.
"I am very excited about the opportunity to lead the sales transformation at Dex One. This is something I have successfully tackled several times throughout my career and understand the energy and effort required to reach the desired outcome," said Hanna. "Dex One is at a pivotal time in its history and transformation is essential in order to return to growth."
Early in his career, Hanna held a variety of management positions in sales and marketing in the telecom industry.
Hanna is a 1977 graduate of the University of Central Connecticut.
