Digium gets new leadership

Following on its investment from Matrix Partners, Digium has taken the next big step and has hired a new CEO and a VP of Sales.

Danny Windham, former president, COO and director of networking vendor Adtran, is joining Digium as its chief executive. Huntsville, Ala.-based Digium is the creator and primary developer of the Asterisk open-source VoIP platform.

Steven Harvey, former vice president of enterprise networks and competitive service provider sales at Adtran, has been named vice president of worldwide sales at Digium.

With the executive additions, Digium Founder and President Mark Spencer is taking on the newly created position of chairman and CTO.

Good move, and it will be interesting to see how these moves affect Digium's already impressive growth.

Strategic shuffle to encourage better sales... but I'm not sure I'm buying it. Sounds like a subtlety... a spin.
