Leading leadership
The company has also confirmed the latest funding round was stumped up by internal investors, managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Oak Investment Partners, and Infinity I-China.
It's funding Lebow believes has come at just the right time.
"Oberon Media has terrific potential for growth and expansion," he added.
"The company has built a worldwide franchise in a highly competitive industry. I look forward to working with the three founders, the board, and all of the talented Oberon staff in the coming days to expand on our position of market leadership, growth and excellence."
