One of Louisiana’s two Fortune 500 Companies, CenturyLink, is rebranding itself as Lumen Technologies.
Lumen Consumer Markets President Maxine Moreau said they’re taking on a new vision that’s aimed at creating technology that helps companies through the 4th industrial revolution.
“Think about building and enabling smart cities, helping people walk with advanced robotics, help during surgery with artificial intelligence and virtual reality,” said Moreau.
The other Fortune 500 Company based out of Louisiana is Entergy.
Moreau said the change in name and direction will not result in a change of location for their headquarters.
“We are very committed to Monroe and to our foundation, you know the whole foundation of Lumen is from CenturyLink,” said Moreau.
CenturyLink was founded in 1930 as a telephone company based out of Oak Ridge.
Moreau said CenturyLink customers don’t need to worry about the change impacting the quality of their current services.
“The CenturyLink brand will remain and serve our residential and small business customers,” said Moreau.
Lumen will focus on the development of high-speed fiber infrastructure alongside work in data management and security.
