Joost today announced that it has appointed Mike Volpi as its new chief executive officer. Volpi will replace founding CEO Fredrik de Wahl, who will remain at Joost as chief strategy officer. The change in positions is effective immediately.

“Mike brings unparalleled leadership and technology expertise that will enable us to accelerate the growth of the company,” said former Joost CEO de Wahl. “I am excited to work with Mike, both because he is an exceptional leader and strategist, and because we share a common ambition for Joost.”

Prior to joining Joost, Volpi worked in various strategic marketing roles at Cisco for 13 years. During his time at Cisco, he took part in the acquisition of more than 70 companies. In his most recent role at Cisco Volpi served as senior vice president and general manager for Cisco’s Routing and Service Provider Technology Group, through which he directly managed an $11 billion business.

Joost has garnered significant corporate and user attention since it launched its beta program. Currently, CBS, Viacom, and Warner Brothers have all signed content partnerships with the company. Although the official launch date of the program is still unannounced, the Beta program is in its final stages, and the recent change in corporate leadership might indicate that Joost is gearing up for its debut.
