Mexican Business Executive and Entrepreneur Jack Kahan to Spearhead Development

Getfugu, Inc., the next generation mobile search tool, is making its first step towards global expansion with a distribution licensing agreement with successful Mexican business executive and entrepreneur Jack Kahan. Kahan has a long and distinguished set of accomplishments. Former President of the US Mexico Chamber of Commerce, Kahan spearheaded the Latin American expansion of Dominos Pizza, and is a member of Mexico’s well established Kahan family, one of the first families to distribute Chrysler cars in the region, a legacy that has lasted over 80 years. The Kahan family was also the first to bring the McDonald’s brand to Mexico, opening its first restaurant in the territory. With the agreement, Kahan will introduce Getfugu to the Latin American territories.

“There are more mobile phones in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina than domestic phone lines. The 13 countries where we will distribute Getfugu have a combined market potential of 500 million people, making us one of the global leaders in the distribution of this revolutionary application,” said Jack Kahan. “The 13 new countries include Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. We will introduce Getfugu’s mobile search technology to the leading mobile phone companies including Telcel, Movistar, Nextel and Iusacel,” added Kahan.

Getfugu will continue its launch in the United States during the Fall of 2009. Europe and Asia will come next. By the end of 2011, Getfugu aims to make its application available to 90% of the world’s 4 Billion mobile phone users.

“This licensing agreement with Latin America is a critical part of our global launch plan, it’s a large and important territory. We couldn’t be more excited to have this deal and the fabulous Jack Kahan aboard to lead us,” said Getfugu Co-Founder Richard Jenkins.

Getfugu’s new mobile search tool enables consumers to experience the Internet and make purchases on cellular phones in an entirely new way by offering four unique services including:

In recent months, Getfugu, under the leadership and vision of CEO Bernard Stolar, has been assembling a roster of esteemed talent for its executive management and its board.

Additionally, Beth Doherty joined as Vice President of Network Sales, bringing in more than 20 years of experience in the high tech and entertainment software industries with senior positions at companies including THQ Wireless, Acclaim Entertainment and Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc. (SCEA).

Recently, Getfugu added entertainment industry veteran and Telepictures Corporation founder Michael Jay Solomon to its Board of Directors.
