In the statement released by Alcatel-Lucent relating to her departure, Russo was quoted as saying, “The company will benefit from new leadership aligned with a newly composed board to bring a fresh and independent perspective that will take Alcatel-Lucent to its next level of growth and development in a rapidly changing global market.”. On September 2, 2008, she was replaced by Ben Verwaayen.

The newly combined entity failed to turn a profit, and as a result, the company’s management team resorted to rounds of restructuring and layoffs to address what were considered “challenging market conditions”. The board eventually decided to oust the management team, and on July 29, 2008, Russo, along with Alcatel-Lucent chairman Serge Tchuruk, announced that she would step down by the end of 2008, in a broad-reaching management restructuring. Significant changes in the composition of the company’s board were also announced. Alcatel-Lucent shares had lost more than 60% of their value since the merger.

Russo was Chief Operations Officer (COO) of Eastman Kodak, a position she resigned in January 2002, when she was re-appointed to Lucent as the CEO of Lucent. She also was Chairperson of Avaya which was spun out of Lucent. Avaya however had filed for bankruptcy in January of 2017.
