FairPoint's Board of Directors today announced David Hauser, former chief financial officer at Duke Energy Corp., will replace Eugene Johnson as chairman and CEO of the Charlotte, N.C.-based telecom company, according to a press release. Hauser, 57, has been a member of FairPoint's board since February 2005. He will assume his new responsibilities on July 1, when Johnson retires.
