Perhaps it would be better to trace the roots of the company which leads on one branch all the way back to Alexander Graham Bell, and on another traces roots through mergers of several other electric companies including GTE and Sylvania.

Lee became Verizon's founding Chairman of the Board and co-CEO. Bell Atlantic CEO Ivan Seidenberg became Verizon's founding President and co-CEO.
