Board of Directors
Ann Asprodites - President
Asprodites Reps
Anyone who knows Ann Asprodites knows she loves her job. Ann’s start was at 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 one of the first telecines east of Texas (remember them?) Ann jumped industries to handle national sales. After garnering clients from across the country she moved into production, again in national sales, growing Morrison Productions from a regional shop 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 Asprodites household in New Orleans includes husband Randy, an abstract painter and art educator, and Bounder, the golden-eyed pup. When she is not working, traveling, hanging with friends or reading, Ann spends time with her barn buddies jumping her Thoroughbred mare, Maggie the Cat.

Board ADVISOR
Veronica Lombardo - Managing director
VLM AIR Founding Member + President-Emeritus
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, gear head, and a lover of fashion. 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). I’m rebuilding my dad’s 1973 International Harvester Scout II, due off the rack winter 2024.
