WOWIO

WOWIO is a deregistered company based in the United States. WOWIO, Inc. has, historically, operated a digital media and technology development company with a patented process and a proprietary mobile ad-delivery platform that planned to disrupt the eBook distribution landscape by exploiting a previously untapped marketplace: ad-supported eBooks. A new management team announced in 2017 that Wowio will be a holding company supporting a number of investments in entertainment, restaurants, tourism, hospitality and other businesses including homebuilding in Northern California and the real estate development in Arizona.

WOWIO's chairman is Brian Altounian, a former Time Warner executive, founder of Alliance Acquisitions, and former board member (from 2005-2011) of Platinum Studios. Mr. Altounian served as the Chief Executive Officer of WOWIO, Inc. from June 11, 2010 to September 2015. During Mr. Altounian's last months as CEO, Wowio went public with an initial share price over $1; within months, the share price fell below $0.01. Robert H. Estareja, President of Wowio since February 2015, replaced Mr. Altounian as CEO in September 2015. In 2017, Mr. Estareja was replaced with a new CEO, Tony Anish, who announced the new strategic direction for the company. The company deregistered its common stock in July 2018.
