SAN BRUNO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/21/13 -- Devicescape today announced the appointment of Jeff Baeth to the position of Chief Financial Officer. Baeth comes to Devicescape from JAJAH, Inc., where he served as Chief Financial Officer and helped facilitate the company's acquisition by Telefónica S.A. in 2010. He brings over 25 years of finance and accounting experience with high tech companies.

"We're excited to bring aboard someone with Jeff's depth of experience," said Dave Fraser, CEO of Devicescape. "As Devicescape continues its rapid growth, Jeff's history scaling the operations of innovative and disruptive companies in the telecom space will prove invaluable."

Prior to joining JAJAH, Inc. in 2007, Baeth was senior vice president at VeriSign Inc, where he was instrumental in scaling the company from a startup to a global industry player with revenue of over $1.6 billion.

"I'm excited to join Devicescape at this critical time in the company's growth trajectory," said Baeth. "The company's value to the mobile ecosystem is obvious: operators gain the ability to economically boost network capacity with high-quality Wi-Fi networks and consumers enjoy an elevated mobile experience. With the recent launch of PopWiFi, Devicescape again demonstrated its leadership in curating public Wi-Fi and offering its carrier-grade Curator Service to mobile network operators."
