"We are tremendously excited by the opportunities ahead of us at CounterPath.

Our new brand and identity better represent and reflect the approach that we are taking in the market," stated Mark Bruk, Chairman and CEO of CounterPath. "Creating a brand and identity for our company that more closely aligns our vision, our product, our customers and our people was important to us."
