Alexandra Benas

Business Development Senior Manager

Always passionate about and drawn to connection, Alexandra built a career around relationships—earning trust, keeping promises, and staying present over time. In her current role, she brings disciplined relationship management and a genuine appreciation of people to every introduction, event, and follow-up, turning first meetings into lasting partnerships.

Rooted in Greek and Italian heritage, Alexandra sees life through a Mediterranean lens: food, family, and celebration. She spent close to a year living in Italy, returns to Greece often, and still describes arriving by ferry to the Amalfi Coast as one of the most unforgettable sights of her life. A self-professed foodie, she loves cooking and discovering new flavors. If she ever hosted a show, it would be “Opa & Amore”— part travelogue, part kitchen, all heart. ‘Opa’ is a Greek exclamation of celebration, while ‘Amore’ means love in Italian. Favorite advice from an early mentor: treat every day as if you are a student—stay curious, open, and grounded.

Community for Alexandra is built one conversation at a time. She actively sponsors programs with the New York State Bar Association (Trusts & Estates, Elder Law, Matrimonial and Family Law) and is a member of the Westchester County Bar Association, where she spends her days fostering connections and collaboration. Ask what wealth means, and she will look beyond money: to purpose, to passion, illuminated by the small joys of good food, beloved company, and a life lived with intention and light.
