Sam Felipe

Board Treasurer
Ryan Gordy Foundation
Born in Cuba, Sam came to America by himself at the age of 8. He lived in an orphanage and foster homes in New York while growing up. Sam stayed in New York where he started his career in cable TV sales. In 1984, Sam pulled up stakes and moved to Los Angeles where he continued his love of advertising and opened his own agency. “I knocked on a lot of doors back then,” says Sam.

He and his agency have flourished over the past 30 years focusing on national, regional and local clients. During those years, Sam gained incredible knowledge and insight into Southern California’s highly competitive retail landscape. His ability to identify, relate and connect with retail consumers as well as an immense Hispanic market, has allowed him to create and execute extraordinary effective marketing solutions and advertising campaigns generating great and immediate results for his clients. Sam was one of the pioneers that introduced automotive dealers to the Los Angeles Hispanic market and currently works with many BMW dealerships in Southern California.

Sam’s passion does not stop with his work; he can also be found traveling to exotic destinations, playing golf or pairing wine with different kinds of food.
