  • 2012-02-28

TALLINN - Estonia's most successful IT company Skype will get a new manager within a month as Sten Tamkivi, who has managed the firm for seven years, will leave and will be succeeded by the company's current testing department head Tiit Paananen, Aripaev Online reports.

"My time as manager of Skype will soon be over. I will keep this position till March 31," said Tamkivi. He will not resign the company completely but will take a year's academic leave to study for a Master's degree in the U.S. Stanford University.

Paananen works in Skype since 2005, just like Tamkivi.
