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 premier 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.”
