Skype Gets New COO

July 04, 2008 | by Christopher Nickson

Scott Durschlag has been appointed as the new chief operating officer of Skype after five years at Motorola.

It’s been a year of change at VoIP company Skype. First they appointed a new president, Josh Silverman, in March. Then they announced the beta of their Skype 4.0 upgrade. And now they’ve got a new chief operating officer in Scott Durschlag, who arrives after spending five years as part of Motorola’s Mobile Devices management team.

"I believe in Skype not only because I've been a user since the early days, but 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.

"It also enables smaller businesses to grow without the unnecessary fuel consumption, costs and carbon pollution generated by needless travel."
