Incisive’s Weller flexes his muscles

B2B information. Incisive Media’s chairman and principal shareholder Tim Weller is the B2B veteran whose back story includes a sizzling London IPO in 2000 and – seven years later – the painful $630m acquisition of American Lawyer. Now, he’s back on the acquisition trail after a long absence, with the purchase of Open Door Media Publishing (Investment Europe and International Investment). It is believed, however, to be a nominal price. ODMP was founded in 2013 by Nick Rapley and Louise Hanna through an MBO from – Incisive Media, under its previous private equity ownership. Incisive’s portfolio includes Investment Week, Post, Computing, The Inquirer, Risk. net, Central Banking Journal and FX Week. Incisive Media celebrated its slimmed-down ‘independence’ in 2017. More deals expected.
