Interview: Tony Bates, Skype CEO
May 21, 2011 /
Tony Bates has had an eventful seven months as Skype’s new CEO.
The company has consolidated its local offices to Palo Alto, announced plans to hire hundreds of new workers, added a video calling feature to its iPhone and Android applications and acquired a competitor, all while preparing for a planned public offering. To cap it off, the Internet calling company announced earlier this month that instead of going public, it had agreed to be acquired by Microsoft for a whopping $8.6 billion in cash.
