Alexandra Schörghuber (née Stumpf), born on July 24, 1958, in Frankfurt, Germany, is the matriarch who took over leadership of the multi-billion dollar Schörghuber Group after the sudden death of her husband, Stefan Schörghuber. She was born the daughter of a Protestant pastor.

Her professional training was highly practical: she completed an apprenticeship as a hotel clerk and subsequently worked in the hotel industry in Germany, Switzerland, and Bermuda. It was during this time that she met her future husband, Stefan Schörghuber, the junior manager of the family business. This professional, operational background gave her the expertise to manage the Hotels division, which would later become a critical part of the conglomerate she inherited.

Alexandra Schörghuber’s professional path within the family holding began long before she assumed control, holding numerous supervisory board and management tasks in the private family holdings, including ventures in parking garages and salmon farming. The defining moment of her career was the unexpected death of her husband, Stefan Schörghuber, in 2008.

Faced with the challenge of guiding a major, diversified German conglomerate, she publicly committed to running the Schörghuber Group in the spirit of her late husband, immediately taking over as Chairwoman of the Board of Trustees. The Group is organized under a foundation structure, protecting it from external pressures and focusing its strategy on five core, autonomous divisions. She has since overseen the successful maintenance of this complex empire and initiated a generational shift, with her son, Florian Schörghuber, taking on the role of CEO in 2024.

Alexandra Schörghuber’s social commitment continues the legacy of her late father-in-law, Josef Schörghuber. Her philanthropy is centered on social welfare, particularly supporting children and youth facing loss and disadvantage.

• Josef-Schörghuber-Stiftung für Münchner Kinder: She serves as the patron of this non-profit foundation, which helps children from 'socially disadvantaged families' participate in holiday and leisure activities, promoting social participation.
• 'Star House' Initiative: In 2018, she announced the creation of a 'Star House' aimed at serving as a central contact point for children and young adults who have lost a close relative or parent. This is a deep commitment to addressing the trauma of bereaved youth.
• Sustainability Commitment: The entire Group is driven by a strong commitment to environmental and social responsibility, including aiming for 'climate neutrality' in its brewery operations.
