Effective immediately, Mr. Stang will lead ooma’s overall business activities including product strategy, brand and partnership development, and expansion of the Company’s presence in retail and consumer channels.

“Eric is a proven leader with a wealth of experience building some of the most successful businesses in the consumer products, semiconductors, scientific computer and medical technology industries,” said Tim Weingarten, General Partner of Worldview Technology Partners.

”We are thrilled to welcome Eric to ooma and believe his previous work leading companies through rapid growth, expanding sales and building exceptional brand awareness is critical as ooma takes a leadership position in the competitive consumer electronics industry,” added Andrew Frame, founder and chairman of the board of ooma.

Stang joins ooma from Reliant Technologies, a medical technology company, where he served as President and CEO and member of the board of directors.

I look forward to taking the company into new product applications and services, growing our healthy retail partnerships and building upon a successful foundation of product quality and innovation.”
