(PRLEAP.COM) Houston, TX May 8, 2008 — VOIPo (http://www.voipo.com), a provider of residential VoIP and reseller VoIP solutions, has named Norman Brandinger its Chief Technology Officer.

“When we decided to enter into this market, I knew that we would have to step up our game and not fall into mediocrity if we wanted to succeed. Putting together a world-class management team with real telecom experience is essential to executing this strategy, but often overlooked by many new VoIP startups. We have worked with Norm in a consulting role for some time now, and he’s been the first consultant that has been able to consistently deliver. We are thrilled to welcome him to our team,” stated Timothy Dick, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of VOIPo.

Brandinger adds, “HostGator has built a tremendous brand in the reseller hosting arena and there is an incredible opportunity for VOIPo to duplicate its success with a world-class VoIP offering. I’m excited at the potential that exists here."

Brandinger will oversee and manage all technical aspects of VOIPo’s operations including infrastructure, development, regulatory compliance, and technology strategy. After nearly two years of development, the company plans to begin selling service publicly by the end of the second quarter.
