    "I am excited to assist Walter and the Board in this newly created role as we make this important transition in executive leadership," commented Chris O'Leary. "This CEO transition allows us to optimize the contributions of TDS' founding family members, Ted and Walter, and demonstrates the Board's commitment to an executive succession that positions us for long-term success. The Board believes now is the right time for this change and Walter is the right person to lead the company. As a long-serving board member of both TDS and UScellular, Walter is fully steeped in all our businesses and is deeply committed to leading the enterprise through this substantial transformation."
