New Alcatel-Lucent Leaders Vow to Move Ahead


The new leaders of Alcatel-Lucent, the telecommunications company, vowed Tuesday to push forward with the integration of the troubled French-American company, saying there was no possibility that the deal that created it would be unwound.

The new team at Alcatel-Lucent of Philippe Camus, left, as nonexecutive chairman and Ben Verwaayen, right, as chief executive, is expected to help the company adapt quickly to changes. 

“We must deliver on the merger,” Ben Verwaayen, the former head of BT, who was appointed Tuesday to succeed Patricia F. Russo as chief executive, said at a meeting with journalists.
