This is me

Alex Ragir is a technology entrepreneur, award-winning journalist, business strategist and storyteller. As co-founder of Storyhunter (now known as Glimmer), Alex built Storyhunter's freelancer network from zero to over 40,000 filmmakers, journalists and video creators in 192+ countries. A dealmaker and innovative executive producer, Alex forged over 200+ creative partnerships with Fortune 5000 companies, reinventing the global production model for social-media video across news, entertainment and advertising. 

The brainchild behind Glimmer Studios, Alex helped launch some of the largest digital video operations in the world for CNN, Al Jazeera, Discovery and Meta while building AI-powered technology to manage the entire distributed production process from finding crews to tracking finance to global payments and contracts. 

Alex is a business builder, from product to marketing to sales strategy. His approach focuses on generating revenue, adjusting to customer feedback, identifying the best messaging, building community, creating an action plan for sales and realigning businesses for long-term sustainable growth.  At Ginga Consulting he's done everything from being a fractional CRO/COO/CEO, business development lead, marketing strategist or PR consultant for AI companies, family offices and media ventures. With a vast network of contacts and know-how in media, tech and venture capital, Alex can serve as the glue to execute ambitious, purpose-driven ventures across industries. 

Throughout his career as a foreign correspondent and investigative journalist, Alex received the Overseas Press Club award for best reporting in Latin America in 2010 -- after uncovering federal police evidence and court documents that proved how top executives of the world's largest banks help rich Brazilians evade taxes and launder money. This investigation was one of the first in a series of corruption scandals that led to Operation Car Wash (Lavo Jato) that led the the impeachment of the president of Brazil. 

 

Before working with Bloomberg and Associated Press in both New York and Brazil, Alex was a freelance documentary filmmaker, writer and video journalist. 

He lives between NYC, Miami, and Rio de Janeiro. Alex likes to enjoy nature, create music and do comedy.
