Prior to MegaPath and Speakeasy, he was director of development for Myrio, the first open source-based middleware and client software provider. Prevoiusly, he held a variety of consulting, engineering and product management positions at AT&T Wireless, Boeing Defense and Space, The Walter Group and the French Space Agency.

At Broadvox, Arnaud will be responsible for all retail product management and development, platform and customer application development, and for developing a disciplined strategy and process for consolidating and scaling the companys technology platforms.

All three appointments follow the recent expansion of the company with the acquisition of Cypress Communications in early 2011.
