Penton CEO Leaves To Start $100M E-Media Firm — Not Boring

ABRY Partners LLC and Sundance Business Enterprises, a wholly owned subsidiary formed by David Nussbaum, former CEO of Penton Media, and ABRY, announced today that they plan to identify and invest in business-to-business media, services, and vertically focused online companies.
