Early career
Dorman joined a company that was to become Sprint Communications in 1981 as employee number 55. He climbed the corporate ladder to
become President of Sprint Business - with 10,000 employees and revenues
of $4.5Bn by the time he was 35.[5]
Dorman became the youngest CEO of a Baby Bell company at the age of 39
following the decision to join Pacific Bell as President & CEO in
1994. The company was acquired by SBC Communications in 1997, and Dorman resigned shortly thereafter to join early news
aggregation service PointCast as CEO. Despite lofty expectations PointCast failed to deliver on
its potential, and Dorman subsequently left to become CEO of Concert Communications Services, a joint venture between BT and AT&T.[6]
Tenure at AT&T
Dorman became CEO of AT&T after his predecessor, C. Michael Armstrong,
joined Comcast as part of the company's acquisition of AT&T's
broadband assets during the summer of 2002.[7] The broadband disposition was one of many high-profile transactions
made during Armstrong's tenure. Other notable moves include the
acquisition of TCI, Inc in 1998 for $48 billion, and the spin-off of the
wireless business into Cingular in 2001.[8][9]
The early part of Dorman's tenure as CEO was spent restructuring a
stressed balance sheet, and re-positioning the company's product mix in
response to dramatic changes in the competitive environment.[10] Ultimately, the decision was made to position AT&T as an
enterprise services company in the hope that such a move would make the
business more attractive to potential acquirers. After an attempt to sell
the business to BellSouth fell through, Dorman was able to reach terms
with SBC to acquire AT&T during late 2004.[11] Although he initially agreed to join SBC as a President, Dorman
ultimately elected to pursue other opportunities and parted ways with the
business shortly after the acquisition was finalized.[12][13][14]
