ShoreTel, a supplier of enterprise IP telephony solutions, named John W. Combs as its new president and CEO, succeeding Thomas T. Van Overbeek, who will remain on the company’s board of directors. Combs has previously served as a senior executive at Mitel and Nextel. He joins ShoreTel from wireless infrastructure supplier Littlefeet, where he served as CEO and Chairman. Before that, he was CEO of InternetConnect, a broadband networking solutions provider.
ShoreTel said its revenues more than doubled between July 1, 2003 and June 30, 2004, with its most recent quarter bookings growing more than 60% compared to the previous quarter. The company attributes much of this growth to stronger-than-anticipated demand for its new IP phone family. http://www.shoretel.com
