IDT Corporation Appoints Stephen Brown Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT, IDT.C) today announced that, effective
immediately, Stephen R. Brown has been appointed Chief Financial Officer
and Treasurer. Mr. Brown, who served as IDT’s
Chief Financial Officer from 1995 through May 2006, will replace Marcelo
Fischer, who succeeded Mr. Brown in that position last year. Mr. Brown
left the CFO post in order to focus on the development of IDT
Entertainment, and led that division during its growth and sale to
affiliates of Liberty Media Corporation last year. Mr. Fischer will
assume the role of Senior Vice President –
Finance and will focus on accounting and internal reporting matters.
"Steve Brown has served IDT well as CFO and as
Co-Chairman of IDT Entertainment. He has been a great resource to IDT
and its shareholders and we look forward to having him back at our
financial helm as CFO again,” said Howard
Jonas, IDT’s Chairman and Founder. "I,
also, want to thank Marcelo Fischer for his service and the financial
insights he brought to our executive team. I look forward to continuing
to work together with Marcelo.” "Steve Brown has been with us since the
beginning and was instrumental in creating significant value for our
shareholders in developing and selling IDT Entertainment,”
said Jim Courter, IDT’s CEO. "We
welcome him back to the CFO position. Marcelo was able to step into the
position with an absolutely smooth transition and become an excellent
CFO.”
Besides his time as CFO and Treasurer, Mr. Brown has also served IDT and
its affiliates in various other capacities. He served as a director of
IDT from 2000 through 2006, as Co-Chairman of IDT Entertainment from
inception through its sale, as a member of the board of directors of
Net2Phone from October 2001 through October 2004, and, most recently, as
Co-CEO of IDT Capital. Prior to joining IDT, Mr. Brown was a practicing
CPA operating his own public accounting practice.
