NEW YORK – August 3, 2006
-- Vistula Communications Services, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board:
VSTL), today announced that it has reorganized the management
structure of Vistula and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Vistula
Ltd. and Vistula USA, Inc. As part of the reorganization,
Rupert Galliers-Pratt will retain his position as Chairman
& President of Vistula Communications Services, Inc. and
will also now serve as its CEO. Adam Bishop will continue
to serve as Chief Executive Officer of Vistula Ltd., Vistula’s
UK-based subsidiary and has resigned as President of Vistula
USA, Vistula’s US operating company. Keith Markley has
assumed the position of President of Vistula USA, and has
resigned as CEO of Vistula. Mr. Markley will continue to serve
on the Board of Directors of Vistula.
Additionally, Jared Taylor, Vistula's current Manager of
Accounting and Administration, has been appointed as CFO,
following the resignation of George Vaughn. Mr. Vaughn served
as Vistula's CFO since June 2004 under a consulting arrangement
with Vaughn + Associates, P.C., a professional services firm
that specializes in interim and part-time CFO and outsourced
financial management services for emerging entities.
"The board thanks George Vaughn for his valuable services
and for his efforts overseeing the company's transition from
a private start-up company to a public company with operations
around the world," commented Rupert Galliers-Pratt, Vistula’s
Chairman and CEO.
“We see tremendous opportunities for our V-Cube™
VoIP product suite in the US, and have collectively decided
that the best use of Keith Markley’s skills, extensive
contacts and experience in the North American market, would
be to have him spend 100% of his time on sales and operational
issues in that region. With these changes Vistula is well
positioned to meet this growing demand with the best complement
of skills and experience that reflects the large geographic
footprint we cover,” Mr. Galliers-Pratt concluded.
