Rook spent the last seven years at Vodafone as the phone company’s chief executive in IoT division.

According to The Register, he now aims to become Sprint’s senior vice-president.

Rook said on IoT matters: “My focus will be on developing secure IoT solutions for our business customers and all people who want to make the best of the digital revolution.”

Tom Rebbeck, IoT research director at analyst firm Analysys Mason, added to The Register: “Sprint has struggled in the shadow of Verizon and AT&T in the US IoT market.

“Both Verizon and AT&T will earn US$1billion from IoT in 2017; Sprint much less. Sprint has also been slower to roll out.”

Apigee’s significance within the business world

Apigee is already in use by many different companies, including AT&T, Burberry, Live Nation and Walgreens. These companies benefit from the use of digital interaction, which enables them to expand their consumer market.

Google believes that the addition of Apigee will increase the quality of its digital interactions, making it easier to implement and publicise APIs. Apigee was recently labelled a leader in the ‘Gartner Magic Quadrant for Application Services Governance’. It has also been recognised for its “completeness of vision”.
