They share our vision for WorldGate — To bring innovative video technology to customers around the world and the commitment to build long-term shareholder value.”
Continuing with its mission of restructuring and strengthening the company, WoldGate announced Harold M. Krisbergh’s resignation as Chief Executive Officer and Randall J.

“These moves are only the beginning,” added Mr. Stevanovski. “We are actively working to expand our current team by bringing in another new board member, a new CEO, a new sales and marketing leader, a new in-house general counsel and additional engineering resources. Many of these changes are in progress and are expected to be announced over the next 30 days. We are also actively looking for new office space very close to our current WorldGate headquarters in the Tevose area, to ensure our engineering team has the necessary capacity for today’s requirements and our future growth. These are exciting times at WorldGate as we position ourselves for the next generation of video telephony.”
