“With her deep industry roots and her ability to develop strong partnerships with clients, Sunny has been and instrumental part of HL Group’s success,” Hufft added. “We have seen Sunny’s skills and talents flourish since she joined HL Group and look forward to all she will bring to this role and out L.A. division.”
