Skype Developer Program Change

December 7, 2007
Paul AmeryAndy Abramson reports that Paul Amery (interview) is no longer the Director of Developer Programming at Skype. I liked Paul a great deal and he had tremendous passion and enthusiasm for his work at Skype.
 
You may remember Amery was a keynoter at a past TMC event so I subsequently had the opportunity to spend a good deal of time with him.
 
I am not sure what the reason for this departure is but perhaps it was just time. Here is the statement the company put out:
 
Change has always been a constant at Skype and will continue to be. We will keep re-shaping our business to take advantage of the immediate and short-term opportunities in front of us. In this context, Paul Amery & Lester Madden have moved on from their current positions and we’re working closely with them to support them through this process.
 
For more on the departure I would direct you to a guest blog post by Amery where he spells out some of the successes which have taken place under his tenure. Specifically:
 
 
If you want to contact Paul, his e-mail is p_amery@hotmail.com and you can Skype him at: paul.amery.
