Polycom president and CEO Andrew Miller (pictured) has resigned after the audit committee of the videoconferencing company’s board found irregularities in his expense report submissions.
Polycom announced his departure in its second-quarter earnings announcement Tuesday. Kevin Parker, a managing principal at Bridge Growth Partners and a Polycom board member since 2005, has been named interim CEO.
Miller took responsibility for the expense report irregularities, which didn’t involve any other employees, nor were they said to be big enough to have a material impact on the company’s current or previous financial results. It gave no other details about the reports. Miller also gave up his seat on Polycom’s board.
Miller joined the company in 2009 as executive vice president of global field operations and became CEO in 2010. Previously, he had been global president of IPC Information Systems, a financial trading communications company, and CEO of the Norwegian video system maker Tandberg, which has since been acquired by Cisco Systems.
"Andy Miller’s resignation under these circumstances was disappointing and should not be viewed as a reflection of the financial integrity of the company, the strength of our team or our plans for the future," interim CEO Parker said in a written statement.
Polycom’s revenue in the second quarter ended 30 June fell almost 4% from a year earlier, to $345.2 million, while net income fell to $5.3 million from $6.3 million.
