Skype gets ex Motorola exec as new COO

July 1, 2008

Skype have just announced the appointment of Scott Durchslag as Chief Operating Officer reporting directly to Josh Silverman. Durchslag left Motorola as their Corporate Vice-President of Global Product & Experience Invention and previously Motorola’s General Manager of South Asia.

In his press statement Duschslag tells how he believes in Skype having used it from the start but then goes on to tell how Skype can save the world by “enabling smaller businesses to grow without the unnecessary fuel consumption, costs and carbon pollution generated by needless travel”. A little overstated perhaps, but it can’t be denied that Skype is a cost effective convenient means of communication and he says it’s a “privilege to join the Skype team and help to build a great company”.
