A visionary entertainment leader, Sandberg joined The Kennedy/Marshall Company in 2011, and was a key member in launching and operating their inaugural television department. Her leadership, creative instincts, and collaborative style propelled her ascent through the organization, leading to her most recent role in Feature Development and Production alongside Frank Marshall. During her tenure, Sandberg successfully managed the overseas production of Universal Pictures hit film JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION, defying countless challenges to become the first film to resume production amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sandberg’s leadership and influence extends beyond her professional achievements. She has worked with Hollywood Radio & TV Society (HRTS.org) as a mentor to younger female executives entering the industry and holds a position as a member of Women In Film. Her expertise has been called on to speak at Netflix’s Hollywood Radio and Television Biopic Panel and at the Pepperdine Graziadio Business School, where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree. As Puerto Rican women with a passion for advocating for underrepresented talent, Sandberg is a creative force fostering diversity and shaping the future of storytelling.
