Welcome to the June 2025 Business by LA Times Studios Magazine
In the June issue of Business by LA Times Studios, we present a recap of the first-ever Los Angeles Executive Awards, held May 12, 2025 at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows in Santa Monica. The honorees, finalists and nominees highlighted in these pages represent the very best of the region's business elite, and celebrating their success was a joyful experience for all who attended.
In addition to these bios, you'll find photos from the event and a recap of the evening's panel, 'Leading Beyond Uncertainty: Navigating a Shifting Economy,' where thought leaders discussed need-to-know insights for the C-suite and beyond. And, of course, you'll learn who among the hundreds nominated earned this year's 'honoree' distinction – 15 executives who are truly at the top of their respective fields.
You'll also find fascinating articles about Southern California's role in the burgeoning ocean economy, legal leaders who are anticipating an increased focus on privacy law as a speciality practice, and how Century City – once nearly vacant during COVID-19 stay-at-home restrictions – is back in a huge way, with widespread construction and splashy new leases making headlines.
Finally, this June issue features a list of the Top Accounting and Business Advisory Firms for 2025, a comprehensive guide to the biggest and most prominent groups of CPAs in both Los Angeles and Orange Counties.

Volanti Displays unveils its largest tabletop touchscreen for AEC professionals
MORGAN HILL, CA | June 19 2025 – Volanti Displays today announced a 55" tabletop touchscreen that gives construction teams a larger shared workspace without reconfiguring offices or job-site trailers. The new model joins the 32" and 43" units introduced when COVID restrictions first drove remote plan review, a shift that made the 43" version the company's second-best-selling product. The 55" tabletop delivers the same commercial-grade 4K panel used in Volanti plan review tables and desks while arriving at a lower price. A steel bracket lets users position the display at 45°, 50°, or 55°, giving crews the right angle for markups, takeoffs, and client walk-throughs. The wider canvas lets two or three teammates review drawings together, so smaller crews get the feedback they need without adding extra workstations. 'Teams asked for more viewing area that still fits limited space and budget,' said Michael Sarich, Vice President of Sales at Volanti Displays. 'This release gives them that larger canvas with the reliability they expect from every Volanti product.' Key facts Sizes now available: 32", 43", 55" Commercial-grade 4K panel identical to Volanti tables and desks Bracket positions: 45°, 50°, 55° Compatible out of the box with Bluebeam, Autodesk, Sketchup, and other construction software Orders open June 24 2025; first units ship mid-July from Morgan Hill, California From preconstruction huddles to final walk-throughs, Volanti Displays gives teams a single screen that holds every plan set and stands up to daily jobsite demands. About Volanti Displays Founded in 2014, Volanti Displays designs and assembles large-format touch solutions for architecture, engineering, and construction professionals worldwide. All products are built in Morgan Hill, California, and tested to perform in real-world field conditions.

Akasa Air Has a New Ancillary Service: Visa Assistance
With an increasing number of regional players entering the aviation industry, Akasa has figured out its differentiator - more ancillary services integrated into its website. Budget airline Akasa Air has introduced visa services as part of its ancillary services. For this, the carrier has partnered with visa solutions provider Udaan India to provide personalized and end-to-end visa assistance. The company has integrated the service with its website. In a statement, the airline said that the service will allow business and leisure travelers to apply for visas to over 100 countries digitally. 'The service provides access to a team of professionals for tailored assistance in navigating the intricacies of visa processing, ensuring accurate documentation, timely submissions, and efficient follow-ups,' the airline said. It said that the entire process from registration to the final approval will be facilitated. Customers will also be able to track their application in real time. Akasa has also announced an introductory limited-period discount of 20% on visa fees for its service. Akasa's Focus on Ancillary Services: Last month, Akasa said that it was expanding its ancillary services portfolio to drive revenue. This was a key focus for the airline in the 2025 financial year, and it now offers 25 ancillary products. The add-on services offered by Akasa range from basics such as seat selection, extra seats, meals, excess baggage, and priority travel, to traveling with pets, getting an earlier flight, holiday packages, hotels, car rentals, and now, visa services. These services, Akasa said, are helping generate additional revenue for the company and allowing the airline to build a diversified revenue stream.&
