Canon Communications Ex-CEO Forms Media Rollup Firm

Bill Cobert, the former CEO of trade media company Canon Communications (which was sold to Apprise Media a year ago), has formed a new media rollup play called EBITDA Media. Cobert says it’s likely that he will have at least one acquisition in place in six to 12 months.
Cobert, who was at LA-based Canon for 25 years, tripled the topline and quadrupled the bottom line during his tenure as CEO through a series of acquisitions as well as organic growth. But he says that when Canon was acquired by Apprise Media a year ago, he and Apprise CEO Charlie McCurdy did not come to terms on a long-term contract, so Cobert left.
