Scott Cohen is the publisher of Compliance Week and the co-managing partner of its parent company, Financial Media Holdings Group, Inc. The original editor of Compliance Week, Cohen currently oversees corporate strategy related to products, databases and events.
Prior to launching Compliance Week, Cohen co-founded a media/technology company that licensed a platform to dozens of publishers, including The Economist, Forbes, Business Week and others. That company is now part of CNET Networks.
Previously, Cohen was on the founding team of The Boston Globe's electronic publishing subsidiary, which developed the pioneering and award-winning Boston.com. At Boston.com, Cohen oversaw all content and editorial issues, helping to build one of the first 24-by-7 online news operations ever launched by a major metropolitan daily. He did so with Frank Hertz, the other co-founder of Compliance Week and co-managing partner of FMHG.
Before that, Cohen worked at a group of 100+ newspapers that had been acquired by Fidelity Capital, the private equity arm of Fidelity Investments. That group is now part of GateHouse Media.
Cohen was also involved in the development of Patient.com, an early-Internet "Patient Information Network" that is now defunct. He also founded an eponymous Internet strategy and implementation firm whose clients included Polaroid, Stonyfield Farms, Working Assets Long Distance and others.
He lives in the western suburbs of Boston with his wife and three children.
