Lisa Hook, who (according to Sunrocket employees) played a major role (http://www.thegng.org/shownews/86207) in the VoIP company's 2007 implosion, has found new employment. Hook has been named president and chief operating officer of Neustar, a provider of clearinghouse and directory services to the telecom and Internet industry. From the company's press release (http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/industries/telecom/article/neustar-names-lisa-hook-president-coo_421103_13.html):"Lisa is the ideal leader," said Jeff Ganek, chairman and chief executive officer at NeuStar. "She's a growth specialist. She brings to NeuStar rich experience in advanced IP services, and her experience in voice and wireless telecommunications is rich.
Said "ideal leader" and "growth specialist" angered a great many SunRocket VoIP users by abandoning ship without telling her own customers that the company was going out of business. Customers found out a week later when liquidators finally sent out an e-mail telling them to find a new provider (http://www.thegng.org/shownews/85867).
Before her stint at SunRocket, Hook was responsible for migrating AOL dial-up customers to broadband, a project that also didn't go so well (http://www.thegng.org/shownews/21815).
