Early life and education

Career
Sandow started a publishing business and launched a national consumer magazine, Honeymoon.[2] He sold this business in 1999.
Sandow joined and later served as principal of the Internet start-up and wedding media company The Knot (now XO Group). The Knot had an IPO in 2000.
In 2005, he founded NewBeauty, a consumer magazine which publishes articles about beauty, ranging from products to cosmetic procedures.[3][4][5] This was followed by TestTube [6], a beauty product sampling program, in 2006.
Sandow launched his company’s second magazine, Luxe Interiors + Design, in June 2005 [7]. Introduced as a regional high-end shelter magazine in Colorado, Luxe has since expanded to 14 regional editions around the United States.
More recently, Sandow introduced BeautyDNA [8], an online beauty product matching service, in summer 2014.
Much of the company’s growth has come through acquisitions. In 2008, SANDOW acquired finance magazine Worth from CurtCo Media.

In 2013, SANDOW sold Furniture Today [11] to FT Media Holdings, Inc.
In 2011, acquisitions included global materials library Material ConneXion and its sister business, creative management agency Culture + Commerce. In 2012, Sandow bought Los Angeles retail brand Fred Segal. [1] In 2013, Sandow’s company was named one of Florida Trend magazine’s Top 200 Largest Private Companies in Florida.
In May 2014, Sandow brought in equity partner, Evolution Media Partners (Evolution)[12], to expand Fred Segal into a global lifestyle brand. [13] Also in 2014, Sandow was the featured keynote speaker at the annual Florida Magazine Conference.
