Alexander Storozhuk, Entrepreneur
Assisting clients with extensive media coverage
An internet entrepreneur, I have a proven track record. I have launched successful online marketing and PR tools. I am passionate about helping clients boost their online media visibility worldwide. I founded PRNEWS.IO and Medialister. I regularly share my thoughts in my columns on Forbes, Entrepreneur, and Inc.
I was born in Ukraine on December 17, 1984, into an engineer's family. My official name, transliterated from Ukrainian, is Oleksandr Storozhuk.
Education
I have a degree in "Foreign Economic Activity Management" from a branch of Mechnikov Odessa National University.
Career pathway
In my second year of university, I worked remotely under contract at NewsKnowledge GmbH, a Swiss company. I was a content editor for its NewsIsFree news syndication service.
I noticed a correlation between how news is distributed and processed and the overall success of companies that know how to handle it. This is how the idea came about for my project was to distribute corporate news in Eastern Europe and the CIS. In 2005, I founded B2Blogger.com, which I sold in 2014.
In 2015, I founded the online platform PRNEWS.IO to place branded content cost-effectively and predictably. Using the Estonian digital identity program e-Residency, I created PRNEWS OU to scale in foreign markets.
In 2019, I received a startup visa and moved to Estonia. Having lived here for 6 years, I sincerely believe that Tallinn is one of the most underrated capitals in Europe, with well-developed infrastructure and a sense of security. Living in a country with zero bureaucracy, where all government services are digitized, gave me the opportunity to absorb the business culture and strengthen the team to improve the product.
In November 2023, my company won a Go Global Award. It was recognized in the Newswires category for its sustainable growth and impact on international trade. The International Trade Council and the Rhode Island Board of Trade in Providence, RI organized the awards.
Summing up the results of 2024, Liina Vahtrase, head of the e-Residency program, mentioned PRNEWS as a good example of a company that contributes to Estonia's economy.
In 2024, I was one of the minds behind Medialister, a platform for guaranteed media placements. Huge thanks to our team and partners for making this possible — and to MartechView for spotlighting the work we’re proud to be doing.
In 2025, I received approval for an O-1 visa, which is issued to people with extraordinary abilities. I moved to Miami to establish the headquarters of a future unicorn company and become part of a growing technology and investment hub.
Hobbies
I am a keen sailing enthusiast and participate in yacht regattas. In December 2023, I sailed a 19-meter yacht through the Drake Passage to Port Lockroy Station on the Antarctic Peninsula.
I'm happily married and raising a daughter.
