Jessica D’Agostin
Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing
Jessica D’Agostin
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, so I am true Southern California native. I graduated from UCLA and went on to Whittier Law School, which included studies in Madrid, Spain.
I joined Radio Express in 1997 where I began my career in Radio Content and Advertising Sales. I started as an Administrative Assistant with the company, and then became the Traffic Manager, which eventually led to my current role as Senior Vice President of Sales. As of recently, I have also taken on the primary Marketing responsibilities at Radio Express.
I have had the pleasure of collaborating with global advertisers such as Coca-Cola, Heineken, Cadbury and Airtel to develop branded radio programming and social media solutions for them across multiple countries. These collaborations can require assembling, contracting, and managing 25 country networks of radio stations to air our branded programming.
Over the years, I have been lucky enough to work with radio stations in over 150 countries, providing them with programming, music, and production services. I have met some wonderful people along the way and have made some great friends.
When I am not fully immersed in the Radio and Advertising universe, you can find me traveling, going to the gym, dreaming about Kauai, tasting new bourbon cocktails that my husband is experimenting with, and hanging out with our dog, Popeye.

Anita Rae Antonio
General Manager
Anita Rae Antonio
I was born and raised in New Castle, PA, Chili Dog and Fireworks capital of the world. I made my way to Los Angeles with a one way ticket on the Greyhound Bus and never looked back, except to watch my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers whenever possible.
My career at Radio Express started 25 years ago in the mailroom (literally). As the company grew my promotions multiplied to my current position as General Manager and HR Administrator.
During my tenure at Radio Express, I graduated with honors from California State University Northridge with a degree in Psychology. It is my pleasure to run the day-to-day operation and to make sure our team has all the tools they need to get the job done in a fun, flexible and secure working environment.
I am always available if you need me, so never hesitate to contact me for any reason. I love this company and we do our best every day to support our customers’ needs and continue to grow our place in the radio world.
I adore my precious cat (daughter) Ziva, watching classic movies, listening to music, writing, gardening, enjoying dinner with friends, massages, lots of beach time and going back to Pennsylvania to hang out and drink homemade wine with my crazy Italian family.
If they ever let me retire, look out Kauai, here I come. My personal motto: Even during the darkest hours, never ever lose your sense of humor.
