The new CEO brings an impressive resume as former President of Business Markets at MegaPath, as well as the former CEO of Speakeasy. Speakeasy was sold to Best Buy in 2007 following a protracted period of growth. Broadvox’s offerings tend toward customized, integrated managed VoIP communication solutions.

Avistar Communications Corporation, provider of unified visual communications solutions, recently announced that it has been recognized with 2011 Unified Communications (News - Alert) Product of the Year Award by TMC.
