Bryan Martin, who previously held the title of president, will remain as chairman and CEO. Mr Weirich was named 8x8's acting CFO, vice president of finance and secretary in June 2006, and he was named to these posts permanently in July 2006. Prior to that, he served as 8x8's vice president of operations and as director of strategic sales. Before joining 8x8, he served as a business development, finance and operations consultant in the US and Asia, managing acquisition and restructuring initiatives for a number of information technology and telecommunications firms. He also served as vice president of business development and vice president of Asia sales at iAsiaWorks. Mr Martin said: "In his relatively short tenure at 8x8, Dan has made enormous contributions to the company in virtually every aspect of our business. Since his promotion to CFO approximately two years ago, Dan has continued to contribute in these areas, and has assumed increasing levels of responsibility beyond that of a CFO, particularly in regards to our operations team, carrier partners, strategic partners and sales organization." http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
