It’s not a secret anymore. A substantial group of Skype top executives are leaving the boat.
GigaOM short lists them. “Senior executives in Poland, France (Jerome Archambeaud, French Market Development Manager), UK (Alistair Shrimpton) and Italy have been let go, while Jonas Kjellberg, who headed up Skype’s Scandinavian operations has been redeployed in UK. Alberto Lorente, head of Skype in Spain and Portugal has been offered a position in London.”
Skype Journal also adds that “Saul Klein, former marketing executive, left Skype but continues to consult on eCommerce and advanced projects and can still be seen in the Skype London corridors. James Bilefield, former business development director and general manager for Europe, also left the company.”
For some observers, Skype is taking the Netscape way: An innovation prolific startup acquired by a major corporation, that slowly turns inoffensive.
