About

Hi, I’m Scott Alexander, a Sydney-based film and television executive with 25+ years of experience across studio acquisitions, international production, IP development, and transmedia monetization. I’ve led teams across Australia, the United States, Singapore, and Hong Kong, always focusing on how great ideas become financially viable and globally marketed IP.

Throughout my career, I’ve merged creative development with risk management and capital strategy to maximize returns on cross-border productions. From leading a tri‑media company to guiding acquisitions at MGM/UA, I’ve built partnerships, packaged IP, and developed multi‑platform revenue models that align storytelling with audience demand and investor expectations.
