FuzeBox, Inc. announced two major hires in Amritansh Raghav, former engineering director for Google Compute Engine, and Eran Shtiegman, former director of product management at Skype. Mr. Raghav will serve as the new SVP of Engineering and Chief Security Officer, while Mr. Shtiegman joins FuzeBox as the VP of Product and User Experience. The duo has worked together before, both having held leadership roles at Microsoft where they co-founded Lync.

Their combined experience and expertise will add rocket fuel to FuzeBox's vision of bringing an immersive video and audio conferencing experience to enterprises worldwide. Before being recruited by Google, Mr. Raghav spent 12 years at Microsoft where he led the mobile UC and Lync divisions as General Manager. At Google, he directed the development, strategy, and growth of Google Apps Marketplace, before ascending to the position of Engineering Director of Google Compute Engine.

In his new role as SVP of Engineering and Chief Security Officer at FuzeBox, Raghav will be responsible for running engineering, testing, and developer operations. Eran Shtiegman served as director of product management at Skype following its $8.5 billion acquisition by Microsoft. As one of Microsoft's UC experts, Eran was tasked with helping set the direction for Skype's transition into Microsoft's offerings as part of the acquisition integration team.

Once the acquisition closed, he transitioned to leading product for Skype's social graph, user growth, and advertising business. Before Skype, Eran led the product team for the Lync client.
