About
I’m Jimmy Herrera, an award-winning international unscripted and documentary producer with 13 years of experience developing and producing story-driven programming across major platforms including Discovery International, CNN, YouTube, and Spotify. I focus on turning real people, timely issues, and high-stakes worlds—like sports, entrepreneurship, and investigative storytelling—into compelling narratives that audiences connect with and want to discuss.
My work blends creative storytelling with rigorous planning and production execution. I’ve led large-scale Latam and US productions, built formats that balance fast-paced momentum with complex logistics, and developed content ranging from long-form documentaries to high-impact digital series and branded campaigns. I’m also proud of my bicultural fluency and ability to bring cultural nuance to every project, whether I’m directing interviews, managing teams, or shaping a show from development through post.
