an Online Youth Entertainment Network
SAN FRANCISCO (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) December 20, 2007 --
GoFish Corporation (OTCBB:GOFH), a leading Internet video and youth
entertainment network, today announced that the Board of Directors has
appointed Jim Moloshok as Executive Chairman. Moloshok's role at GoFish
will encompass consulting with the company on the execution of the
Company's strategic plans, strengthening the leadership team and serving
as an important resource for the Company's senior management team.
“Jim's addition to our management team and our
Board of Directors will be a great benefit to GoFish as we continue to
build our advertising and video distribution network,”
said Tabreez Verjee, president of GoFish. “His
extensive experience building businesses at the convergence of
entertainment and technology at Yahoo!, Warner Bros. and HBO is
unparalleled and will be a great asset to GoFish.”
Throughout his career Moloshok has managed the intersection of
technology and entertainment for some of the world's biggest media
companies including Yahoo!, Warner Bros. and HBO and was named by TV
Week as one of the 'Top Ten Internet Executives You Can't Afford To
Ignore.'
Moloshok said, “I am delighted to work with
GoFish at this juncture as I see outstanding potential to develop both
the GoFish brand and the company into the premiere online youth
entertainment network. I look forward to working with the senior
management team in establishing critical partnerships, driving continued
revenue growth, leading business initiatives, and delivering great value
to publishers, advertisers and shareholders. I share GoFish's enthusiasm
with the enormous opportunities that lie ahead and believe that the
deportalization of the Internet creates the best time and potential for
GoFish to become a huge success.”
As President of Digital Initiatives for Home Box Office, Moloshok was
responsible for exploring new opportunities for the company, focusing on
innovative content and fast-changing technology. Before joining HBO,
Moloshok was senior vice president, Entertainment and Content
Relationships at Yahoo! building partnerships with movie studios, TV
networks and producers. While at Yahoo!, the areas under his supervision
included Kids, Movies, TV, Games, Sports, Health and News. Prior to
joining Yahoo! Moloshok was president of Warner Bros. Online and
president and CEO of Entertaindom.com, an original entertainment
destination for Time Warner.
Under Moloshok's leadership, Warner Bros. was named by Variety as the ‘Most
Aggressive of All Studios on the Web,' and in its debut month, the
independent Entertaindom eclipsed other more established entertainment
sites. Warner Bros. Online was the first studio site to accept
advertising and evolve into an online business with its own sales and
marketing team separate from any other sales efforts of the company.
Prior to running Warner Bros. Online, Moloshok was senior vice president
of Marketing at Warner Bros. and previously held the same position at
Lorimar Telepictures, a television distribution company, which merged
with Lorimar in 1986 where he was also responsible for marketing to
