I had thought Talkster had entered the land of oblivion. Apparently that is not the case and here we are with some fresh news. The Canada based mobile startup has hired a new President - Jim Ferguson. Jim will be working at Talkster to bring about a fundamental shift in Talkster’s strategy.

For a brief bio on Jim - Before coming to Talkster, Jim was President of Sales and Marketing at Mpower, the business telecommunications services provider, from 2003 until its acquisition in 2006 by TelePacifc.  While at Mpower, Jim guided a team of 150 employees in marketing, sales, field support, engineering and product life cycle teams that delivered more than $200 million in annual revenue.  Prior to that, Jim also held executive roles at Global Crossing, Frontier Communications and Cable and Wireless.
