PhoneGuard Strengthens Management Team With Highly Experienced CFO as It Moves
Into Monetization Phase
BOCA RATON, FL, Sep 01, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- PhoneGuard, Inc., a
subsidiary of Options Media Group Holdings, Inc. (otcqb:OPMG) (pinksheets:OPMG),
a leading provider of mobile applications software, today announced the
appointment of Jeffrey A. Yesner as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Yesner has
extensive SEC reporting experience gained during his many years within the
corporate world and significant public accounting and auditing experience. He
will be responsible for corporate-wide financial management as PhoneGuard moves
into its monetization phase beginning in early October.
Mr. Yesner was most recently the Chief Accounting Officer at Medical Staffing
Network Healthcare, LLC. He also gained significant financial management
expertise with several growth-oriented corporations and within the public
accounting sector. He began his accounting and auditing career at Arthur
Andersen, LLP where he quickly rose through the ranks to Supervisory Senior at
the firm.
Keith St. Clair, Chairman of the Board, commenting on the appointment of Mr.
Yesner said, "We welcome Jeffrey to the company at this critical point in our
corporate history as we move closer to our monetization phase and to the
availability of our new PhoneGuard Pro product. Over the coming weeks as revenue
increases we will undergo a significant transformation, which will require us to
further strengthen our financial reporting mechanisms and executive level
decision making abilities in order to manage the strong growth we are expecting.
We view Jeffrey Yesner as the perfect fit to provide the financial leadership we
require. We look forward to drawing on his vast experience in not only
accounting, but in the area of critical financial related decision-making where
he has excelled in previous positions. Please join me in welcoming him to the
PhoneGuard team." Mr. Yesner will be replacing Steve Stowell, Options Media's
current Chief Financial Officer, at the end of September.
Available for BlackBerry and Android smart phones, with iPhone development now
complete pending launch, the Drive Safe application enables global positioning
satellite (GPS) tracking to calculate the speed of travel while a vehicle is in
motion. Once vehicle speed reaches 10 miles per hour, the Drive Safe application
locks the phone's keyboard, preventing the user from emailing, surfing the web or
texting while driving. Other Drive Safe(TM) features include an Auto-Reply
button, a pre-set response that is automatically delivered to the texter or
caller and reads I am driving and will contact you when I reach my destination; a
Request Permission button that allows users to request permission from the
administrator to have functionality of the mobile phone; and an Admin Override
button, allowing the administrator to type in a set password to override
PhoneGuard's System Settings so that specific mobile functions can be utilized.
For example, if a child is riding the bus, Drive Safe will know he or she is in a
moving vehicle and will disable the phone. The child will then hit Request
Permission, which sends a text message to the administrator. The administrator
can then text "yes" back to the disabled phone, unlocking the phone for 15
minutes. After this time limit, the keyboard will be disabled again.
PhoneGuard and Justin Bieber developed Drive Safe(TM) as a simpler and free
version of a larger application suite. Their hope is to make Drive Safe(TM)
accessible to as many drivers as possible.
