Back to press releases
IDT Corporation (NYSE: IDT) today announced changes to the positions of
certain members of management.
Liore Alroy, currently CEO of IDT Telecom, will move from that post to
serve as Deputy Chairman of both IDT Corporation and IDT’s soon to be
spun-off subsidiary, Genie Energy Ltd., acting as a non-executive
strategic advisor to both entities. Bill Pereira, currently IDT’s CFO,
will take over as CEO of IDT Telecom. In addition, Marcelo Fischer, CFO
of IDT Telecom will also become Senior Vice-President of Finance of IDT
Corporation, responsible for financial operations, reporting and
compliance, and serving as its certifying Principal Financial Officer.
As previously disclosed, upon the spin-off, Jim Courter, who has served
as Vice Chairman of IDT’s Board of Directors, and Wes Perry, will leave
the IDT Board to serve Genie in those capacities. Bill Pereira will be
nominated to the IDT Board following the spin-off.
Howard Jonas, IDT’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
and Chairman of the Board of Genie, commented, “The IDT management team
we had in place has done a terrific job and we believe that this new
structure will best maximize the contributions of our management team at
both IDT and Genie.”
The moves are being made in conjunction with the pending spin-off of
Genie to IDT’s stockholders, which is expected to take place on October
31, 2011.
