Alex Hoffmann has been a classical music enthusiast since his childhood in Belgium. His senior executive career in financial technology gave him the opportunity to study, live, and work in Brussels, Palo Alto, Luxembourg, Paris, Dallas, and finally Naples, where Alex has resided with his family since 2018.

After starting his career with McKinsey & Company, Alex joined PayPal as one of the first employees of its European bank. He subsequently held executive positions at MoneyGram International and ACI Worldwide, before joining Versapay, a private equity-backed B2B accounts receivable automation and payments scale-up. 

Alex learned music theory during his engineering and economics studies at the University of Louvain, followed by an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He was the Secretary of Les Jeunes Amis de l’Opéra, a non-profit fostering the participation of students and young adults at the La Monnaie Brussels Opera. His four children have absorbed his love for music and have all become instrumentalists.

Appearing as an extra on stage in Carmen with his daughter singing in the chorus was the highlight of his musical engagement.

Alex has been an active patron of Grand Piano Series since 2019. He is
looking forward to deepening his involvement with the program, acting as an ambassador for the institution and providing a fresh perspective on
programming and community engagement opportunities.
