Larry is a dynamic combination of intelligence, passion, and business savvy. He is a charismatic leader who stresses the collective success of the team, while also understanding how to drive hard for results.
One of the most impressive qualities about Larry is his ability to focus and deliver on a goal. Larry taught himself to speak Spanish fluently, and to respect and embrace the culture. He is also doing the same with digital, as he works to evolve his company’s relationship with its audience and advertising partners.
Great guy!
I have had the pleasure of working for Larry Sands twice in my career and twice as a colleague. Larry is a true broadcaster who has learned the business from the ground up. He builds successful teams and builds profitable stations, networks and productions.
An excellent administrator, he is adept at managing large groups, inspiring the staff to excellence, and provides true leadership and mentoring.
The entertainment world needs more people like Larry Sands.
I have worked alongside Larry for 20 years. I saw him grow from a great sales person to sales manager delivering results to a performance driven leader of a station/network in Puerto Rico. Larry is creative, smart and knows how to spot and secure talent. Two of his greatest strengths are his work ethic which has no limits and his ability to create systems and processes to get things done right. He is a multi-tasker that can juggle very well and fully bilingual. Larry is a great asset to any company looking for a seasoned leader who is a grown up and leads by example and I highly recommend him.
