Qwest chief financial officer John Richardson is resigning, the company said today.

Richardson, 63, joined Qwest in 2003, and became CFO last year, succeeding Oren Shaffer. Prior to joining Qwest, Richardson spent 35 years at Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.

"We want to thank John for all of his hard work during the past five years," said Edward A. Mueller, Qwest chairman and chief executive officer, in a written statement. "We believe that, in part due to John's efforts, the company is on sound footing. We look forward to identifying the best candidate to replace John. In the meantime, we will continue to execute on our strategies."

Richardson will remain at Qwest until a successor is named.
