Both Young and Ahmed will report to Ed Morche, president of enterprise and public sector business in North America.

Young will now oversee the Lumen System Integrator, Global Hyberscaler, Digial Ventures and Indirect Sales groups in his newly-created role.

Ahmed will be responsible for business development, capture management, program management and sales to public sector clients

Lumen’s public sector business includes federal, state and local, military, K-12 schools, research and education institutions, and public safety.

“I’m excited that Dave and Zain, two of our strongest sales leaders, are both taking on new roles that will position Lumen to grow our strategic enterprise and public sector business for years to come,” Morche said in a company release.
