Skype Appoints New Chief Operating Officer
Skype yesterday announced it named Scott Durchslag as Chief Operating Officer. This is an important hire as it brings an individual with over 20 years of experience, including 5 years at the helm of Motorola's $25 billion Mobile Devices Business.

"I believe in Skype not only because I've been a user since the early days, but also because I'm convinced the opportunities ahead for Skype are tremendous given how the world is changing," said Durchslag. "Skype combines superior multimedia communications technology with making the world a better place by cost-effectively connecting consumers on a global scale, as well as enabling smaller businesses to grow without the unnecessary fuel consumption, costs and carbon pollution generated by needless travel. It is truly a privilege to join the Skype team and help to build a great company."
