Afloarei Celebrates Epic Promotion

Last week we teased the announcement about Sandra Afloarei‘s executive upgrade at Epic Records, and now the news is official: Afloarei has been upped to SVP of Top 40 Radio Promotion. The big news was delivered by Epic President Sylvia Rhone, who remarked, “It’s an honor to work alongside Sandra and it’s so gratifying to give our staff the ability to grow within the company. She’s been integral to our success at Top 40 and has earned this promotion by her proven track record and accomplishments at the format. It’s been exciting to watch Sandra become one of the industry’s foremost promotion executives.”

A 10-year Epic Records veteran, Ms. Afloarei has held the title of VP of Top 40 Radio Promotion since 2016. She got her start in 2007 as a New York-based promotion assistant and worked her way through the ranks to Los Angeles Local, Pop National, and eventually, Vice President.

Commenting on her advancement, Afloarei commented, “I always dreamed that the company where I worked my first job would continue to nurture and uplift me. Having that become a reality is unbelievable. Sylvia is a role model for all of us, fostering a team environment of positivity and creativity. She’s empowered us to break unexpected pop stars and build the biggest records at the format ever in the process. I want to thank Sylvia, Benny Pough, Lynn Hazan and Sony Music’s incomparable leader, Rob Stringer — who’s known and believed in me since I was an assistant. This executive team enables us to be different and succeed all the way. I’m excited to drive more artists to the forefront of pop culture and the very top of the charts.”
