KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Sprint Nextel Corp., the mobile- phone company that lost more than a million customers in the past five quarters, named Daniel Hesse chief executive after Gary Forsee’s ouster two months ago. The 54-year- old Hesse helped slow profit declines as head of Sprint’s Embarq Corp., a local-phone spinoff, closing call centers and creating packages of services.
