ANYTHING INTERNET ANNOUNCES NEW PRESIDENT AND CEO
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Dec 6, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Anything Internet
Corporation (OTCBB: ANYI) announces it has appointed William Kroske, Ph.D., as
its new President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Dr. Kroske has been
working with the company as a consultant for the past two months, and is
responsible for creating a dynamic new business direction for the company, has
secured funding for the new national marketing program, and restructured the
operations.
With over 20 years of multi-industry experience, Dr. Kroske is a highly sought
after seasoned business consultant and marketing development specialist. He has
successfully built and sold two multi-million dollar businesses and provided
business growth consultation to several others. Dr. Kroske has just completed
the design and development of a national affiliate expansion program via the
Internet for CFOs2GO, a California-based senior financial level placement firm.
He provided similar marketing designs for SportsStar Marketing, where he
developed a national franchise program and created an award-winning Internet
site. Prior, Dr. Kroske was the President of DIAL ONE International, Inc., a
national franchise company that operated in 21 states and 5 foreign countries
before selling to the Drackett Co., a division of Bristol-Meyers. Earlier, Dr.
Kroske was the President of Century 21 Real Estate of Los Angeles, where he
built this master franchise into 118 franchise offices in the Los Angeles area
with over 2,200 sales people; the company was later sold to the parent company
after completing an initial public offering.
Robert Schick, one of Anything Internet's founders and Interim Chairman, said:
"Dr. Kroske has brought a new energy and direction to our company. His new
national marketing program, soon to be announced, is innovative and dynamic and
will lead the company to a nationally recognized position in e-commerce. Also,
his personal contacts in finance and business circles have brought us a high
level CFO, new financial resources, and nationwide professional contacts. 2000
is going to be a terrific year for the company."
Dr. Kroske, the new President and CEO commented: "I am very excited to be
working with this Company. As a consultant, over the past two months, I have
achieved a working knowledge of how this Company works and am confident our new
customer centered program and marketing strategy will generate an exceptionally
large customer base which will drive three profit producing divisions."
