NEW YORK Internet TV startup Joost has brought on Cisco veteran Mike Volpi as its new CEO.

Volpi succeeds Fredrik de Wahl in the top position at the high-profile firm, which hopes to marry TV with the interactivity and limitless choices of the Web. Volpi spent 13 years at Cisco, most recently running its $11 billion router business.

The addition of Volpi brings added credibility to Joost, founded by Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, the creators of the Kazaa music-sharing service and Skype Internet-calling system.
