Kunekt Names Two Telecom Executives to its Business Advisory Board

HONG KONG, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Kunekt Corporation (OTCQB: KNKT), creator of the Kunekt global brand of affordably priced, quality mobile devices, primarily smartphones and tablets, today announced that it has named two telecom executives to its Business Advisory Board.

Mark Bruk, president of Kunekt, reported that the new advisory board members will focus on launching the company's sales and marketing operations in China and pursuing global distribution of its mobile devices.

"Kunekt's strategy recognizes that there is a growing global demand for affordably priced, quality mobile devices, marketed under a brand name that consumers trust," Bruk said, "and with these initial Business Advisory Board members, we are beginning to position the company to take advantage of opportunities in this market."

The Business Advisory Board members named are:

Yabin Xing, founder and CEO of iFunmobile Inc., a Toronto-based company focusing on the development and delivery of mobile applications, mobile content and rich media. Xing is also the president of Telesavvy, Inc., a Toronto-based consulting firm, which has completed more than $70 million in projects for its clients in the past two years. He has also held several senior roles in ZTE Corporation, China's largest listed telecom company providing equipment and networking solutions in more than 140 countries and servicing 59 of the world's top 100 telecom operators, including serving as the president and CEO of ZTE Canada, Inc., the director of International Markets, the managing director of ZTE Thailand as well as assistant vice president in the Asia Pacific Region.

Matt Li, managing director of AMS-INT ASIA, Hong Kong, is an entrepreneur with more than twenty years of academic and engineering experience in the network, telecom and wireless industries. Li has held various engineering and management positions with startups and Fortune 500 companies, such as Cisco Systems; UB Video; Motorola; Abatis Systems; and ANV Systems. In the past eight years, he has worked with three early stage companies, either as a co-founder or an early stage employee, through their successful capital exits. Upon the closing of Kunekt's acquisition of AMS, which previously announced that it is acquiring 100% interests in the management and control of two Chinese mobile phone companies, Li will join the company as co-CEO, co-chairman and president of Kunekt.

"In naming Matt Li and Yabin Xing, two experienced telecom executives, to the Kunekt Business Advisory Board, we are communicating the company's powerful resources for realizing its business plan," said Bruk.

"Matt is already working on designing new mobile devices, including feature phones, smartphones and tablets, which we will be marketing from our new sales office opening in Shenzhen, China. Yabin will be advising us on distribution opportunities with telecom operators worldwide," said Bruk.
