As part of the transaction, Envision Co-Founder’s Danno Wolkoff and Laura Orkin, have become stockholders in SBG. The two have also joined the company’s Executive Team with Wolkoff serving as SBG’s Chief Development Officer and Orkin accepting the position of Vice President of Business Operations.
SBG President and Founder Jason Bailey said “I’m honored to welcome Danno and Laura to the SBG family and excited to build upon the success they have achieved these last 17 years. I want to also thank the executive team at Gen Media Partners who helped make this marriage happen.”
“We are thrilled to bring two highly successful radio companies together to create a new network delivering the best in sales, affiliate relations, programming and services,” said Envision Networks® CEO/President Danno Wolkoff. “Working with Jason and Julio over the past years has been a pleasure and to be able to interact with them and the entire SBG team daily is a true honor.”
“I’m excited to enlarge the boundaries of the business that Danno and I started from nothing,” said Envision Networks® COO Laura Orkin. “We grew our network to over 2500 affiliates while reaching many milestones. We have so much more to accomplish as part of Sun Broadcast Group.”
