“We are ecstatic about having Sylvia join LMN as CEO,” said Valencia and Rocketto. “Latinos are the ‘X factor’ in the US today – driving population growth and the cultural trajectory of the country. At a moment like this, there should be more Latino owned media platforms to provide culturally relevant content for our community. With Sylvia’s deep experience and leadership, we will build a cutting edge multi-platform media company that will be able to serve this critical demographic in the country.”

“I am thrilled to join LMN at this exciting time of growth for the company and Latino serving and Spanish language media markets,” said Banderas Coffinet. “Hispanics are the engine for economic growth in today’s America and I could not be more optimistic about the commercial and cultural potential of this moment. It is exciting to be part of a team that is Latina owned and operated, building media for us, by us.”
