In his new role at GoFish, Mr. Verjee will build upon the momentum of the company’s recent announcement to acquire Bolt Media and oversee strategic and corporate development of the combined company. He has been associated with GoFish for the past year as a shareholder, executive consultant and director on the company’s board. For the past nine years, Mr. Verjee has been a general partner at Global Asset Capital, LLC, a private equity investment firm with diversified interests in venture capital and real estate. He will retain his position with the company, while devoting the majority of his time and resources to GoFish. “Having worked with Tabreez in the past on very successful ventures, I am certain he will be a huge asset to this company as we continue to grow GoFish's marketshare,” said Michael Downing, co-founder and CEO of GoFish. “His decisive leadership, commercial experience and breadth of understanding of our business make him ideally suited to join our management team.” “I have been tremendously impressed with the business and market position that GoFish has established within a relatively short time,” said Verjee. “I am thrilled by the opportunity to work alongside such an innovative team of visionaries as we advance GoFish to the next phase of growth.” With Global Asset Capital, Mr. Verjee was most recently the managing partner of a management company which directed more than $500 million in committed assets from leading global institutional investors across two venture capital funds and over 40 portfolio companies in the U.S. and Europe. Prior to that, Mr. Verjee co-headed IMDI/Sonique and successfully negotiated its sale to Lycos. Sonique was one of the most popular consumer internet music applications with approximately four million unique users and status as the fifth most downloaded application on the Internet in 1999. Mr. Verjee also brings media finance expertise to GoFish from his prior role as managing director of Global Entertainment Capital, which was a pioneer in media asset securitizations with $150 million in committed capital. He began his career as a strategy consultant at Bain & Company. Mr. Verjee received a bachelor of science in Engineering with honors from University of California at Berkeley.
