"Eric has earned the trust of everyone here at Sorenson Media and has demonstrated time and again that he is a team player who is absolutely committed to the company's long-term success," CEO Peter Csathy said. "Eric is talented, passionate about the overall opportunity, and a true business partner in every sense of the word. We are bullish about our prospects for continued accelerated growth in 2011."
