Alex was raised in Long Beach NY by loving parents and the world’s best big sister. Uninspired by academics, but motivated by arts, causes and the need to pay bills, Alex worked part-time at Goldman Sachs before dropping out of college to spend the next 40 years having fun and making friends on Wall Street.

Alex built and led prime brokerage businesses throughout his career. He co-founded Goldman Sachs’ Prime Brokerage business in the early 1990s, and headed or co-headed that business in Europe and Asia, until he departed from that firm after 24 years. He went on to lead Prime Brokerage at UBS in London and New York for six years, after which he co-headed Prime Brokerage for a decade at Morgan Stanley, where he also oversaw the Listed Derivatives and Fund Administration businesses, served on the Equities and Securities Operating Committees, and chaired the Diversity Council of the Investment Bank. He left Wall Street with gratitude for his many mentors and friends, and recognition of how privileged he was to have had such opportunities.

During his years in London, Alex met the woman of his dreams on a blind date and pursued her to Paris three days later. They’ve been married 30+ years, and have raised three sweet young men, all of whom are making the world a better place. They really want grandchildren.
