ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, September 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Conocer Digital Holdings, Inc., a new media and technology company founded by entrepreneur Gerardo “Gary” Ragusa, today announced the acquisition of the assets of Mundo Hispano Digital, Inc., parent company of MundoNow, one of the nation’s most trusted Spanish-language and bilingual digital news and lifestyle platforms.— Gerardo Ragusa
As part of the acquisition, longtime Mundo Hispánico Chairman Sam Zamarripa has joined Conocer Digital’s Board of Directors, alongside Whit Richardson, former head of Latin America at Turner and WarnerMedia. Together, they form a powerhouse board guiding Conocer’s growth and transformation strategy.
Mr. Ragusa, who will serve as Chief Executive Officer, is a media and data strategist with deep experience in monetization, product innovation, and scaling digital businesses. A first-generation immigrant from Argentina, Mr. Ragusa embodies the new Latino: higher income, greater spending power, and entrepreneurial drive, balanced with the family and community values that unite Hispanic audiences.
“Our mission is to use content and data to spark powerful conversations on the issues that matter most—politics, the economy, sports, entertainment, community, health, and family,” said Mr. Ragusa.
Dual Strategy: Local Legacy + National Growth
As part of its growth plan, Conocer Digital will spin off the print division of Mundo Hispánico into a new company led by Ivan Shammas, a respected Hispanic media executive with deep Atlanta roots. Backed by investors and advertisers who value the community service of print, this spinoff will revitalize Mundo Hispánico’s legacy newspaper for the local market.
Meanwhile, Conocer Digital will focus on scaling digital, data, and national reach—transforming MundoNow into an AI-enabled engagement platform serving multicultural audiences across the U.S.

The company is nearly halfway to closing its $1.5 - $2.0 million seed round, driven by demand from strategic partners eager to back its vision.
