Toon Boom Animation Inc., the industry’s leading storyboard and 2D animation software developer, today announced the appointment of Mr. Colin Bohm as the new Chief Executive Officer.
Bohm has a long track record of success in the content production and entertainment industry. He joins Toon Boom from Corus Entertainment, where he most recently served as EVP of Content and Corporate Strategy. Bohm’s appointment follows Integrated Media Company’s (IMC’s) purchase of Toon Boom from Corus earlier this year. Bohm held a diverse range of positions over his two-decade tenure at Corus, most recently responsible for its original content businesses including Nelvana, Corus Studios, Aircraft Pictures, Kids Can Press, and previously, Toon Boom, in addition to overseeing business development, global strategic partnerships and several M&A initiatives.
“I’ve been fortunate to witness Toon Boom’s growth and impact over the past decade, and it’s a privilege to now lead the company into its exciting next chapter as an independent company,” said Bohm. “I look forward to partnering closely with the talented Toon Boom team and IMC to provide robust and comprehensive solutions for content creators everywhere.”
“Colin is an exceptional leader and seasoned operator with an invaluable blend of leadership skills, strategic thinking, and deep industry experience,” said Ori Winitzer, Partner at IMC. “We eagerly anticipate collaborating with Colin and witnessing his significant contributions in the days ahead. We are thrilled to welcome him to the Toon Boom and IMC family.”
“As we build a world-class platform for content creation and production workflow tools, Colin’s leadership, insight, and decades of experience will be integral to realizing our vision for a broader and more innovative ecosystem,” said Yuning Zhang of IMC. “With his guidance, we are confident that the Toon Boom team will continue to thrive.”
Following the acquisition by IMC, Toon Boom has taken important steps toward expanding its creative software business in new markets and verticals, with new product launches planned for 2024.
