Board of Directors

 

Veronica Lombardo, VLM
Founding Member & President

As the daughter of a designer and a painter, I grew up a lover of the arts, and despite my upbringing I was never able to draw much more than a stick figure or quintessential 80's house on a hill. I had to find my own way to play with the creative minds that surrounded me. I had to find my inner creative talent. 

While I wasn't great at creating art myself, I did have an internal knack of connecting people. I had mastered the skill of putting one person in touch with another and in doing so I realized it was an art. I had found my calling. So I became a rep.

I’m a first generation American, an LA native, an animal lover and a Bocce Ball Influencer. I’ve been into martial arts since a young age and after achieving my black belt in Chinese KungFu I took my training to the ground with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. When I’m not “rolling on the mat” I can be found exploring antique shops in Palm Springs, hiking the Santa Monica mountains or planning my next trip to the motherland (Italy).

Ann Asprodites, Asprodites Reps. Founding Member & Vice President

Anyone who knows Ann Asprodites knows she loves her job.  Ann’s start was as an agency so small that responsibilities included concept, copy, production, and client service.  When the first full-service post house in the Southeast opened with the one of the only telecines east of Texas (remember them?)  Ann jumped industries to handle national sales.  After garnering clients from across the country she moved into production where again she handled national sales, growing Morrison Productions from a regional stance to a tri-coastal presence.  After 13 years, with a handful of directors and a music house, Ann started Asprodites Reps.  Since then, Asprodites Reps has thrived and grown and Ann has maintained her love of the industry and craft, respect for the clients, and delight in the relationships.  

The New Orleans household includes Randy, an abstract painter and art educator and Bounder, the golden-eyed pup.  When she is not working, traveling, or reading, Ann spends time with her barn friends jumping her Thoroughbred Bakers Woods.

Julie Koellner, Remedy Reps. Treasurer

She’s also been a voice talent on many national spots and on-hold messages. In her free time, Julie enjoys being a chauffeur for her daughter, watching beach volleyball, reading, traveling and spending time with friends and family. She also loves a good Chardonnay. Julie lives in Dallas, Texas with her family and their dog, Daisy.

Doug Sherin, Options Director at Large

From the age of 9 I always wanted to be in commercials. So I got myself an agent and almost right away appeared in spots for Kenner Toys, Pizza Hut and Subaru Cars. Over the years and through an awkward stage, my career in front of the camera transitioned to behind the scenes. First as a talent agent, and then sales for some of the top post production super stars. In 2004 my partner Kimberley Griswold and I launched OPTIONS and the rest is history. We represent all the offerings across the board needed for spots and branded content production. That said I am still in the commercial biz!
