David Nussbaum is the very experienced and highly-regarded media executive who is now running America’s Test Kitchen— ATK — a quickly growing independent media company, earning the respect of the publishing industry, the culinary world, and, most importantly, millions of home cooks.

In a rapidly changing media landscape, ATK continues to grow and thrive as a subscription-revenue-only print business, paired with long-running and very popular PBS series, a book business that has sold more than 12 million copies and recently launched 15 new titles and robust paid-access websites. Find out how he does it and what he plans for the future.

 

Quantum Media Guru events are well-known for their “no speeches, no Powerpoint” promise. Just terrific one-on-one conversation with a fascinating personality making news in the media business, followed by Q+A.

David Nussbaum joined America’s Test Kitchen in October 2015. Previously he served as the chief executive officer and chairman of F+W Media (2008 to October 2015). Before that, he was an operating partner at the private equity company ABRY Partners. Going back further, David was the chief executive officer and chairman of Penton Media.

Nussbaum has served on boards for both Summit Business Networks, now part of American Lawyer Media, and Thomas Nelson Publishing, now a division of Harper Collins. He currently serves on the board of Compound Ventures, a New York City-based early stage technology venture fund, and on the advisory board of Boston University’s School of Communications. Nussbaum is also on the board of IMAG, MPA’s Independent Magazine Media Group.

Erica Gruen, Principal of Quantum Media, is moderating this event.
